Als Carraways Cousine Daisy auftaucht, eine Ex-Geliebte seines reichen Freundes, mitsamt blaublütigem Millionärs-Ehemann, setzt Gatsby alles daran, die Verflossene zurück zu erobern.

Today, more than 70 years after its publication, The Great Gatsby seems as fresh and pertinent to American life as it did in the 1920s. The social, cultural, and historical milieu of the 1920s reflected in its pages is not so very different from our own. This interdisciplinary collection of commentary and rich collateral materials will enrich the reader's understanding of those times and their influence on Fitzgerald's novel. The authors have included a wide variety of primary documents that capture the flavor of the era and its notorious and flamboyant players. Included are newspaper stories, first person accounts, and congressional testimony from the scandals of the 1920s. Most of the documents included in this text are available in no other printed form. A chapter on the writing of the novel illuminates Fitzgerald's relationship to the literature of the 1920s. Chapters discuss the following topics: the scandals of the 1920s, The Woman Question, the rich in the 1920s, and the novel then and now. Each section of the casebook contains study questions, topics for research papers and class discussion, and lists of further reading for examining the themes and issues raised by the novel. This is the ideal student and teacher companion for understanding the novel in its historical, social and cultural context.

Der große Gatsby führt uns mitten hinein in die Goldenen Zwanziger Jahre, und dementsprechend rauschend und glanzvoll geht es darin zu. Das Leben ist für den Handlungsträger eine Folge von Partys, die nicht enden will, mit deren Hilfe er das Herz seiner Liebsten zurückzuerobern trachtet. Ein fragwürdiges Ansinnen, doch es gibt gute Gründe dafür, die noch zu erläutern sind. Zumindest aus der Perspektive des Erzählers sind sie, wenn nicht angebracht, so doch bemerkenswert. Er zieht in dem Roman Bilanz und hält Rückschau auf die letzten beiden Jahre seines Lebens, während derer Jay Gatsby sich anhaltend einer Illusion hingibt, die abschließend dem Untergang geweiht ist. Nick Carraway selbst lebt in bescheideneren Verhältnissen, sieht sich aber seinerseits unwiderstehlich angezogen von der Verschwendungssucht arrivierter Emporkömmlinge, die nichts als dem Genuss zu frönen scheinen, doch schlussendlich sieht man ja, wohin das führt. Nick hat sich ein kleines Haus am Rande gemietet, er stammt aus dem Mittleren Westen der USA und versucht sein Glück an der New Yorker Börse. Während Nick sich an die Fersen der neuen Reichen auf Long Island heftet, hat seine Cousine Daisy als Objekt der Begierde von Jay Gatsby Stellung im noch mondäneren East Egg bezogen.

The Great Gatsby ist die unvergessliche Geschichte eines reichen Mannes und seiner geheimnisvollen Vergangenheit. Er veranstaltet die extravagantesten Feste von Long Island, während er auf der verzweifelten Suche nach einer alten Liebe ist.

The twentieth-century masterpiece, the authoritative new edition.

The only authorized mass market edition of the twentieth-century classic, featuring F. Scott Fitzgerald ’s final revisions, a foreword by his granddaughter, and a new introduction by National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward. This edition of The Great Gatsby has been updated by F. Scott Fitzgerald scholar James L.W. West III to include the author’s final revisions and features a note on the composition and text, a personal foreword by Fitzgerald’s granddaughter, Eleanor Lanahan—and an introduction by two-time National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward. Featuring the iconic original cover art, this is a must-have for students and Gatsby fans. The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald’s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. First published in 1925, this quintessential novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.

Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the 'Jazz Age'. Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him. The Great Gatsby is an undisputed classic of American literature from the period following the First World War and is one of the great novels of the twentieth century.

Invited to an extravagantly lavish party in a Long Island mansion, Nick Carraway, a young bachelor who has just settled in the neighbouring cottage, is intrigued by the mysterious host, Jay Gatsby, a flamboyant but reserved self-made man with murky business interests and a shadowy past. As the two men strike up an unlikely friendship, details of Gatsby's impossible love for a married woman emerge, until events spiral into tragedy. Regarded as Fitzgerald's masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of American literature, The Great Gatsby is a vivid chronicle of the excesses and decadence of the "Jazz Age", as well as a timeless cautionary critique of the American dream.

A beautiful new edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby to coincide with the release of Baz Luhrmann's film. 'There was music from my neighbour's house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.' Everybody who is anybody is seen at the glittering parties held in millionaire Jay Gatsby's mansion in West Egg, east of New York. The riotous throng congregates in his sumptuous garden, coolly debating Gatsby's origins and mysterious past. None of the frivolous socialites understands him and among various rumours is the conviction that 'he killed a man'. A detached onlooker, Gatsby is oblivious to the speculation he creates, but always seems to be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. As writer Nick Carraway is drawn into this decadent orbit, Gatsby's destructive dreams and passions are revealed, leading to disturbing and tragic consequences. 'Not only a page turner and heartbreaker, it's one of the most quintessentially American novels ever written' Time F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St Paul, Minnesota in 1896. He studied at Princeton University before joining the army in 1917. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic relationship and subsequent breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work); six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. F. Scott Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.
