A must-have new edition of one of the great American novels and one of America's most popular featuring a new introduction by Min Jin Lee, the New York Times bestselling author of Pachinko, and a striking new cover that brings the quintessential novel of the Roaring Twenties into the 2020s
The basis for the Tony Award winning Broadway musical starring Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada
One of The Atlantic s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years
A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paper
Young, handsome, and fabulously rich, Jay Gatsby seems to have everything. 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.
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.
For more than seventy-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 2,000 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and went to Princeton University, which he left in 1917 to join the army. He is said to have epitomized the Jazz Age, which he himself defined as "grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken." In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre; their traumatic marriage and her subsequent breakdowns became the leading influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, Tender Is the Night, and The Last Tycoon; six volumes of short stories; and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. Min Jin Lee (introduction) is the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Pachinko—a finalist for the National Book Award and one of The New York Times’ 100 Best Books of the 21st Century—and of the nationally bestselling novel Free Food for Millionaires. She has received the Fitzgerald Prize for Literary Excellence, the Manhae Grand Prize for Literature from South Korea, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard, and has been inducted into the New York Foundation for the Arts Hall of Fame and the New York State Writers Hall of Fame. She lives in New York City. Philip McGowan (editor, notes) is an executive board member of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society, the president of the European Association for American Studies, a professor of American literature at Queen's University Belfast, and a co-editor of The Routledge Companion to F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Virtuosic . . . Both imperfect and sublime . . . I ve read and loved Gatsby for a very long time. . . . I ve always loved it because it shows that Fitzgerald understood unfairness. . . . I cannot imagine a more persuasive and readable book about lost illusions, class, White Americans in the 1920s, and the perils and vanity of assimilation. . . . I turn to Gatsby because it gives me the sober wisdom to imagine and revise my own American dream, and for that, it has a lasting hold. Min Jin Lee, from the Introduction

No novel has more thrillingly portrayed the corrupting obsessions of love and money. . . . The romantic myth of self-creation speaks deeply to readers. . . . The prose, sentence by gorgeous sentence, goes down like spun sugar. George Packer, The Atlantic, The Great American Novels
