• this is the original version by fitzgerald with the addition of an annotated literary critique at the end to better explain the meaning of this book.





The Great Gatsby (The Great Gatsby) is a novel by Francis Scott Fitzgerald published for the first time in New York on April 10, 1925, and defined by T.S. Eliot as "the first step forward made by American fiction since Henry James".





Background of the Book.



Set in New York and Long Island during the summer of 1922, The Great Gatsby is the most acute portrait of the soul of the Jazz Age, with its contradictions, its victimhood, and its tragedy. The story, which following the technique of Henry James is told by one of the characters, tells the tragedy of the American myth that had ruled the country since the time of the landing at Plymouth Rock and can be considered the spiritual autobiography of Fitzgerald who, at a certain point in his life, closed with alcoholism and the life of a playboy, wanted to understand what had been the obstacles that had made his existence sinking.





Book Considerations.



• The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.



• the first step forward made by American fiction since Henry James



• The strength of this book is the unique way in which it deals with the theme of social class, inherited versus self-generated wealth, race and environmentalism, and the concept of the American Dream.





Named one of the best works published in the 20th Century.



It's time to embark on an enlightening journey inside the Jazz Age to discover the incredible story of " The Great Gatsby " by F.Scott Fitzgerald.

THE GREAT GATSBY, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. First published in 1925, quintessential novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generation of readers. The story of the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted “gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession,” it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.

F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1896. He attended Princeton University, joined the United States Army during World War I, and published his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920. That same year he married Zelda Sayre and for the next decade the couple lived in New York, Paris, and on the Riviera. Fitzgerald’s novels include The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender IS the Night. He died at the age of forty-four while working on The Last Tycoon.
