The Great Gatsby (häftad, eng)

''Can''t repeat the past? ... Why of course you can!''Often called ''the great American novel'', F. Scott Fitzgerald''s The Great Gatsby is a story of adulterous love, dreams, and betrayal among the super-rich in 1920s New York. The mysterious and wealthy Jay Gatsby throws extravagant parties while trying to reclaim a lost love.

Capturing the excitement and glamour of the era Fitzgerald himself named ''the Jazz Age,'' Fitzgerald''s incandescent prose brings to life a shimmering world of hot jazz, flowing gin, and brute power, as Gatsby''s dreams explode into tragedy.
