Love, money, revenge and betrayal - this is the Jazz Age novel that became the great American classic.

The world and his mistress are at Jay Gatsbyâs party. But Gatsby stands apart from the crowd, isolated by a secret longing. In between sips of champagne his guests speculate about their mysterious host. Some say heâs a bootlegger. Others swear he was a German spy during the war. They lean in and whisper âhe killed a man onceâ. Just where is Gatsby from and what is the obsession that drives him?

âShimmers with a magic that readers have long recognisedâ¦Fitzgerald was so far ahead of his time that we are only just catching up with himâ Sarah Churchwell, Guardian

âNot just one of the greatest works of American literature, but a timeless evocation of the allure, corruption and carelessness of wealthâ The Times

Industry Reviews

"One of the greatest works of American literature...a timeless evocation of the allure, corruption and carelessness of wealth."
The Times

"It is a marvellously suggestive novel... a parable of modern America, and by extension of modern life."
A. N. Wilson Daily Telegraph

"The first and greatest modern novel, it has beautiful women, lavish parties, romance, betrayal and murder woven together in an intricately structured plot. A prescient comment on the dying days of a gilded age that is brilliant entertainment with a very eloquent insight."
Mirror
