F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby remains one of the defining works of 20th-century American literature—a shimmering, tragic portrait of love, ambition, wealth, and illusion set against the backdrop of the Jazz Age.
 
Through narrator Nick Carraway, the novel explores the world of Long Island high society and the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby, whose obsessive longing for Daisy Buchanan builds toward one of literature’s most unforgettable conclusions.
 
This 2003 Scribner trade paperback edition presents the authorized text, with notes and a preface by preeminent Fitzgerald scholar Matthew J. Bruccoli. The edition also features the classic “Celestial Eyes” cover artwork inspired by the original 1925 dust jacket—one of the most iconic images in American publishing history.
