Publisher's summary

The great jazz age novel

The 1925 original version, with classroom history!

The Great Gatsby is considered F. Scott Fitzgerald’s magnum opus, exploring themes of decadence, idealism, social stigmas, patriarchal norms, and the deleterious effects of unencumbered wealth in capitalistic society, set against the backdrop of the jazz age and the Roaring Twenties. At its heart, it’s a cautionary tale, a revealing look into the darker side of the American Dream.
