The Great Gatsby: One of the greatest novels of American Literature, a Masterpiece (Annotated) Kindle Edition

by F. Scott Fitzgerald (Author), Currant BOOks (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 29 ratings

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a book set in the Jazz Age in New York, first published in 1925 in the United States.


The novel follows a cast of characters living in the fictional towns of West Egg and East Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. The plot revolves primarily around the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his bizarre passion and obsession with the lovely former debutante Daisy Buchanan. The Great Gatsby, considered Fitzgerald's magnum opus, explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, painting a portrait of the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale about the American Dream.

“I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”

“Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead.”

“So we drove on toward death through the cooling twilight.”

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

“The world only exists in your eyes-- your conception of it. You can make it as big or as small as you want to. And you're trying to be a little puny individual. By God, if I ever cracked, I'd try to make the world crack with me.”

F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in St Paul, Minnesota, and went to Princeton University which he left in 1917 to join the army. Fitzgerald was said to have epitomised the Jazz Age, an age inhabited by a generation he defined as 'grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken'.

In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their destructive relationship and her subsequent mental breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender is the Night and The Love of the Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work): six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces.

Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940. After his death The New York Times said of him that 'He was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a "generation" ... he might have interpreted them and even guided them, as in their middle years they saw a different and nobler freedom threatened with destruction.'

    A sad yet compelling story of tragedy in a time of wanton opulence and excess. Those who enjoy FSF’s descriptive style and possible self indulgent story telling will not be disappointed.
