Reihe: The English Edition

When F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous novel "The Great Gatsby" was first published in 1925, its author received raving reviews from numerous fellow writers, but it was not until the post-war decades that his masterpiece received the worldwide recognition it deserved. Poignantly and with subtle finesse, Fitzgerald tells the story of the dazzling upstart Jay Gatsby, who celebrates lavish parties on his estate in order to win back his lost love – a story about the power of great feelings and the painful failure of a romantic dream. This edition presents the grandiose classic of American literature in a special hardcover edition with silver foil embossing.

Fitzgerald, F. Scott
Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) came to New York in the Roaring Twenties to live his dream and, together with his wife Zelda, soon became one of the city's most sought-after celebrities. His novels "The Beautiful and the Damned" (1922) and "The Great Gatsby" (1925), set in the luxurious world of the American moneyed aristocracy, became instant bestsellers. In 1937, the author moved to Los Angeles and worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood.
