The Great Gatsby (Wordsworth Classics)

F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby looks at wealth and ambition. The story takes place on Long Island in the 1920s. Nick Carraway tells it through the rich people around him. His cousin Daisy is one of them. Her rich husband, Tom Buchanan, is another. Jay Gatsby is a man of mystery who made his own fortune. Yet he feels alone and longs to impress Daisy.

This American classic looks beneath the wealth and excess of the Jazz Age. It ties Gatsby's rise and fall to hopes of a fresh start.

This paperback is in English, in the Wordsworth Classics series. Guy Reynolds wrote the introduction and notes.
