The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

$6.95

A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author s generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald s--and his country s--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. It s the story of Gatsby and his love for another. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. Publisher: Simon amp Schuster/Scribner (1999) Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald Format: 180 pages, paperback Ages: 9-12 ISBN: 9780743273565
