The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald (used)

SCOTT FITZGERALD'S MASTERPIECE AND A MILESTONE IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY LITERATURE, THE GREAT GATSBY IS A DAZZLING SOCIAL SATIRE WITH MILLIONAIRE JAY GATSBY AS ITS INTRIGUING ANTI-HERO

EVERYBODY WHO IS ANYBODY IS SEEN AT THE GLITTERING PARTIES HELD IN 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 UNDERSTAND 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 SEEMS ALWAYS TO BE WATCHING AND WAITING, THOUGH NO ONE KNOWS WHAT FOR.

AS THE TRAGIC STORY UNFOLDS, GATSBY'S DESTRUCTIVE DREAMS AND PASSIONS ARE REVEALED, LEADING TO DISTURBING CONSEQUENCES. A BRILLIANT EVOCATION OF 1920s HIGH SOCIETY, THE GREAT GATSBY PEELS AWAY THE LAYERS OF THIS GLAMOROUS WORLD TO DISPLAY THE COLDNESS AND CRUELTY AT ITS HEART.
