Book excerpt: The Great Gatsby was first published ninety-five years ago in 1925. Regarded as his magnum opus, it is set during the “Roaring 20s” in America and is a vivid chronicle of the decadence, glitz and excesses of the “Jazz Age”. This representative work is a cautionary critique of the American dream which has made it one of the most quintessential American novels of all time. It is narrated by Nick Carraway, a young bachelor who moves to East Egg and settles right opposite Jay Gatsby’s mansion. Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, is a flamboyant albeit reserved man with a mysterious past. Nick is intrigued by this secretive man who throws extravagant parties every weekend and the two strike up an unlikely friendship. Eventually details of how Gatsby amassed all that wealth from his murky business interests unfurl, along with his fatal obsession with a married woman, Daisy Buchanan, which ultimately leads to his demise. The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism, materialism, debauchery, social upheaval and more. This book is still strikingly relevant in the materialistic world we live in, a world that no longer frowns upon the distasteful show of wealth and fame. With this special edition, we celebrate the 95th anniversary of this literary masterpiece.

Book excerpt: A must-have new edition of one of the great American novels—and one of America's most popular—featuring a new introduction by Min Jin Lee, the New York Times bestselling author of Pachinko, and a striking new cover that brings the quintessential novel of the Roaring Twenties into the 2020s The basis for the Tony Award–winning Broadway musical starring Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paper Young, handsome, and fabulously rich, Jay Gatsby seems to have everything. But at his mansion east of New York City, in West Egg, Long Island, where the party never seems to end, he's often alone in the glittering Jazz Age crowd, watching and waiting, as speculation swirls around him--that he's a bootlegger, that he was a German spy during the war, that he even killed a man. As writer Nick Carraway is drawn into this decadent orbit, he begins to see beneath the shimmering surface of the enigmatic Gatsby, for whom one thing will always be out of reach: Nick's cousin, the married Daisy Buchanan, whose house is visible from Gatsby's just across the bay. A brilliant evocation of the Roaring Twenties and a satire of a postwar America obsessed with wealth and status, The Great Gatsby is a novel whose power remains undiminished after a century. This edition, based on scholarship dating back to the novel's first publication in 1925, restores Fitzgerald's masterpiece to the original American classic he envisioned, and features an introduction addressing how gender, race, class, and sexuality complicate the pursuit of the American Dream.
