F. Scott Fitzgerald epub The Great Gatsby. Complete Edition with Original Illustrations: Classic American Literature

“The Great Gatsby” is the true classic of 20th-century literature, the great American novel that galvanized millions of readers.  The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional towns of West Egg and East Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. Many literary critics consider The Great Gatsby to be one of the greatest novels ever written. PlotSet in Jazz Age New York, the novel tells the tragic story of Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, and his pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, a wealthy young woman whom he loved in his youth. No one gives better parties than Jay Gatsby. No one has a bigger house or a bigger pool, or drives a longer, sleeker, more opulent automobile. His silk shirts alone — ”shirts with stripes and scrolls and plaids in coral and apple green and lavender and faint orange with monograms of Indian blue” — can and do reduce women to tears. But who is he? Where does he come from, where did he make his megabucks, and why — his sober, straight-arrow neighbor (and narrator) Nick wonders — does he stand on his dock at night and stretch out his arms to a green light shining across the bay from his magnificent mansion? AboutFirst published by Scribner's in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received mixed reviews and sold poorly. In its first year, the book sold only 20,000 copies. Fitzgerald died in 1940, believing himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. However, the novel experienced a revival during World War II, and became a part of American high school curricula and numerous stage and film adaptations in the following decades. Today, The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the "Great American Novel." This edition is unique due to the Dmitry Mintz, computer-made illustrations, which were not featured in the original edition, making it a must for collectors. From Review “The Great Gatsby is in many ways similar to Romeo and Juliet yet it is so much more than a love story.” — The Guardian  The Great Gatsby lays bare the empty, tragic heart of the self-made man. It’s not only a page-turner and a heartbreaker, it’s one of the most quintessentially American novels ever written. — TIME
