<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>2021 Reprint of the 1925 Edition. <em>The Great Gatsby</em>, 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, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when <em>The New York Times</em> noted "gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession," it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s. <em>The Great Gatsby</em> received mixed reviews upon publication and sold poorly. In its first year, the book sold only 20,000 copies. Fitzgerald died in 1940, believing himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. However, the novel experienced a revival during World War II, and became a part of American high school curricula and numerous stage and film adaptations in the following decades. Today, <em>The Great Gatsby</em> is widely considered to be a literary classic and a contender for the title of the "Great American Novel."</p><p>Following the novel's revival, later critical writings on <em>The Great Gatsby</em> focus in particular on Fitzgerald's disillusionment with the American dream in the context of the hedonistic Jazz Age, a name for the era which Fitzgerald claimed to have coined. </p>
