The Great Gatsby: The Only Authorized Edition

The only edition of the beloved classic that is authorized by Fitzgerald’s family and from his lifelong publisher.

This edition is the enduring original text, updated with the author’s own revisions, a foreword by his granddaughter, and with a new introduction by National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward.

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. First published by Scribner in 1925, this quintessential novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.

One of my all-time favorites. Love the symbolism and prose! Love the contrast between the glamorous and shimmering lifestyle, and the deep sadness of the characters.

A beautifully written novel that truly captures a time gone by. The reader feels the breeze, smells the grass, and hears the music wafting across the lawn from Gatsby's parties. This one is a must read!
