F. Scott Fitzgeralds meisterhaftes Portrait der goldenen Zwanziger als exklusive Schmuckausgabe. Long Island im Jahr 1922: Auf dem prächtigen Anwesen des jungen Millionärs Jay Gatsby amüsiert sich allabendlich die New Yorker High Society auf der Suche nach Spaß und Zerstreuung. Doch der geheimnisumwitterte Gastgeber selbst hat kein Interesse an diesen rauschenden Festen. Hinter seiner schillernden Fassade verbirgt er die tiefe Sehnsucht nach der einen Frau, die für ihn unerreichbar ist. Eine Sehnsucht, die zur Besessenheit wird. Die Zeichnungen des Buchkünstlers Robert Nippoldt machen diese Ausgabe des Klassikers zu einem ganz besonderen Schmuckstück. Eine Buchgestaltung im Stil des Art Deco, die stilgetreue Illustration - darunter zwei Panoramaformate auf Aufklappseiten - sowie 11 aufwendig gestaltete Extras lassen die einzigartige Stimmung im New York der Roaring Twenties lebendig werden: einer Zeit des wirtschaftlichen Wachstums, der ersten Wolkenkratzer, der Prohibition und der Exzesse, des berühmten Broadways und der Flapper, die sich den gesellschaftlichen Konventionen widersetzten.

But at his mansion east of New York City, in West Egg, Long Island, where the party never seems to end, he's often alone in the glittering Jazz Age crowd, watching and waiting, as speculation swirls around him--that he's a bootlegger, that he was a German spy during the war, that he even killed a man. As writer Nick Carraway is drawn into this decadent orbit, he begins to see beneath the shimmering surface of the enigmatic Gatsby, for whom one thing will always be out of reach: Nick's cousin, the married Daisy Buchanan, whose house is visible from Gatsby's just across the bay.<BR><BR>A brilliant evocation of the Roaring Twenties and a satire of a postwar America obsessed with wealth and status, The Great Gatsby is a novel whose power remains undiminished after a century. This edition, based on scholarship dating back to the novel's first publication in 1925, restores Fitzgerald's masterpiece to the original American classic he envisioned, and features an introduction addressing how gender, race, class, and sexuality complicate the pursuit of the American Dream.<BR><BR>For more than seventy-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
