The Great Gatsby (AmazonClassics Edition)

By: F. Scott Fitzgerald

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne

Four years after the Great War, America is enjoying an economic boom. Enigmatic veteran Jay Gatsby, who's risen from being nobody from nowhere to self-made millionaire, is along for the ride. Upwardly mobile, he reaches for status among the "old money" on Long Island - and for all that it promises across the bay, namely Daisy, the lost love of his youth, who has been married for five years to Gatsby's contemptible rival, Tom Buchanan. With all his wealth and charmed aspirations to restore the past, Gatsby is certain he can win her back. But halfway between the skyscrapers of Manhattan and the mansions of West Egg lies the "valley of ashes," where Gatsby's glittering world is turned upside down.

The Great Gatsby remains the quintessential embodiment of the reckless idealism of the Jazz Age and the disenchanting search for the American Dream.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Great Gatsby, this edition of The Great Gatsby (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
