About this ebook
WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY GEOFF DYER
The world and his mistress are at Jay Gatsby’s party. But Gatsby stands apart from the crowd, isolated by a secret longing. In between sips of champagne his guests speculate about their mysterious host. Some say he’s a bootlegger. Others swear he was a German spy during the war. They lean in and whisper ‘he killed a man once’. Just where is Gatsby from and what is the obsession that drives him?
This edition of The Great Gatsby is the result of a unique collaboration between Tiffany & Co. and Vintage Classics. It is based on designs in the Tiffany &Co. archives from the twenties when F. Scott Fitzgerald’s talent, beauty and notorious lifestyle made him one of best known writers of the Jazz Age.

I have wanted to read this since I saw the movie advertised. As I like to read the books before I watch the movies. I can't put my phone down I can see it being added onto my all time favorites

One of the best books of all time. Period. End of discussion. Do yourself a favor and read it. And Don't think this is a period piece about the 1920s. It's immortal.

The plot is interesting enough, but there is something about 'The Great Gatsby' that guarantees it's place as a classic. It is written so beautifully it just has the feel of romance and class, a master at work.
