The Great Gatsby — F. Scott Fitzgerald | Wordsworth Classics (Paperback)

In 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald set out to write “something extraordinary and beautiful and simple.” The result was The Great Gatsby—a shimmering portrait of the Jazz Age and one of the most enduring novels in American literature. Through Nick Carraway’s eyes, we meet the self-made, self-invented Jay Gatsby, whose gilded West Egg parties conceal longing, ambition, and the cost of reinvention. Money, desire, and the promise of new beginnings collide in a story as precise as it is mesmerizing.

This Wordsworth Classics edition is a handsome, affordable way to add a timeless masterpiece to your shelf—perfect for students building a library or readers returning to Fitzgerald’s flawless prose.
