There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.
Extravagant rumors abound of a man named Jay Gatsby who has newly arrived to the coastline of a section of Long Island known colloquially as West Egg. Long into the night, the mysterious Gatsby threw lavish parties at his sprawling estate, but when alone, Gatsby could be found staring longingly at a solitary green light across the dark water. For all Gatsby has attained in his life, that green light represents all that he lost.
The greatest story to encapsulate the roaring twenties, The Great Gatsby follows the eventful lives of the denizens from East and West Egg in this timeless classic of American literature.
This description may be from another edition of this product.Inseparably associated with a point in history he claimed to despise, F. Scott Fitzgerald is both the quintessential Jazz-Age writer and perhaps the era s harshest critic. However, the complexity and sheer timelessness of classics such as The Great Gatsby has ensured that Fitzgerald s work will never be regarded as mere period pieces.
i just got the this book in the mail i think i paid for and “acceptable” book but i didn’t expect for it to have writing in it ( i’m completely fine with it was just surprised is all.) the book overall is just great though.
The book was highlighted and written all over and the cover was barely holding on. Not what I would consider "Very Good" Condition...
This is one of my all time favorite books of all time.
I loved F. Scott Fitzgerald’s style of writing, but the storyline itself was less than intriguing to me. I’m still glad I read it, mostly because it’s such a classic. That being said, I’m not sure it deserves all the hype.
Was not expecting the annotations in the book.
Fitzgerald is one of my favorite authors. I love how he explores humanity in his novels. This book draws you into the shallow world of the 1920's elite--it's beautiful and magical and empty. I don't usually reread books but I certainly will reread this one again and again.
