With an Introduction and Notes by Guy Reynolds, University
of Kent at Canterbury. Generally considered to be F. Scott
Fitzgerald's finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate
summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose
of the "Jazz Age". Through the narration of Nick Carraway,
the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world
of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the
1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, her brash but
wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery
that surrounds him.
