90 Classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin BooksLet me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me . . .

For the centennial of its publication, a new edition of one of the most iconic of American novels, including four of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short stories about wealth and class from his collection All the Sad Young Men and an introduction by Min Jin Lee, the New York Times bestselling author of Pachinko One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years A Penguin Classic Young, handsome, and fabulously rich, Jay Gatsby seems to have everything. But at his mansion east of New York City, where the party never seems to end, one thing will always be out of reach: the married Daisy Buchanan, whose house is visible from Gatsby's just across the bay.

This centennial 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 includes an introduction addressing how gender, race, class, and sexuality complicate the pursuit of the American Dream; four beloved stories from Fitzgerald's 1926 collection, All the Sad Young Men--"Winter Dreams," "The Rich Boy," "The Sensible Thing," and "Absolution"; and suggestions of a wide variety of multimedia resources for exploring the novel's themes.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's debut novel of love and greed, now repackaged with a beautifully designed jacket by noted illustrator Malika Favre. This Side of Paradise tells the story of Amory Blaine, the only child of wealthy parents, whose journey from adolescence to adulthood follows him from prep school through to Princeton University, where his literary talents flourish, in contrast to his academic failure.

Gatsbys Welt - Glanz und Abgrund der High Society Die besten Kurzgeschichten von F. Scott Fitzgerald (Band 3) "Niemand schrieb so scharfz ngig und gleichzeitig melancholisch ber die Welt der Reichen wie Fitzgerald." - The New Yorker Glitzernde Partys, rauschende N chte, exzentrische Million re - und eine allgegenw rtige innere Leere. In Der gro e Gatsby entlarvte F. Scott Fitzgerald die Oberschicht als eine Welt voller blendender Oberfl chen und br chiger Seelen. Auch seine Kurzgeschichten werfen einen scharfen Blick auf eine Gesellschaft, die von Prestige lebt, aber an ihrer Sinnlosigkeit zerbricht. "Gatsbys Welt" ist der dritte Teil einer Sammlung, die die besten Kurzgeschichten Fitzgeralds thematisch ordnet. W hrend Gatsbys Traum von Erfolg und Scheitern erz hlt und Gatsbys Sehnsucht die Vergangenheit in den Mittelpunkt stellt, f ngt dieser Band die hohle Pracht der Reichen und ihre verlorenen Illusionen ein. In "Der Offshore-Pirat" scheint eine verw hnte Erbin die wahre Freiheit zu finden - bis sie merkt, dass jede Welt ihre eigenen Grenzen hat. "Die Babyparty" zeigt die kalte Konkurrenz unter Frauen der Oberschicht, die selbst eine harmlose Feier zum Schauplatz stiller Feindseligkeiten macht. "Magnetismus" f hrt ins Zentrum Hollywoods, wo ein Schauspieler mit unwiderstehlichem Charme die Welt lenkt - und doch nie er selbst sein kann. In "Der Eispalast" sucht eine junge Frau nach Klarheit und Ordnung, nur um festzustellen, dass K lte nicht nur in der Luft liegt, sondern auch in den Herzen. Diese zw lf meisterhaften Erz hlungen zeigen eine Gesellschaft, die in Champagner und Prestige schwelgt - und doch nie zur Ruhe kommt. Fitzgeralds Figuren sind gefangen in einer Welt aus Oberfl chlichkeit, Konventionen und leeren Versprechungen. Ihr Glanz mag bet ren, aber ihr Inneres bleibt oft erschreckend leer. Mit eleganter Sprache, ironischer Sch rfe und unbestechlicher Beobachtungsgabe entlarvt Fitzgerald eine Gesellschaft, die sich an ihrem eigenen Luxus berausch

Fitzgerald entf hrt Sie in eine Welt voller Prunk, Geheimnisse und Verlangen - eine Welt, in der der amerikanische Traum seine dunklen Seiten offenbart. Gatsby, ein Mann, der f r seine Vision lebt, hat alles erreicht, was sich die Gesellschaft dieser Zeit w nschen kann. Doch trotz seines Wohlstands bleibt er von einem idealisierten Traum besessen. Werden seine Hoffnungen erf llt, oder wird er von seiner eigenen Illusion zerst rt? Fitzgeralds Roman enth llt die unaufhaltsame Reise eines Mannes, der bereit ist, alles zu opfern - f r Liebe, f r Gl ck, f r den Traum. "Gatsby glaubte an das gr ne Licht, an die verhei ungsvolle Zukunft, die Jahr f r Jahr vor unseren Augen schwindet. Gestern entging sie uns, aber das macht nichts - morgen werden wir schneller laufen, unsere Arme weiter ausstrecken ... Und eines sch nen Morgens ... Und so k mpfen wir uns weiter, wie Boote gegen die Str mung, und werden unaufh rlich zur ck in die Vergangenheit getragen." - Nick Carraway, Erz hler in Der gro e Gatsby Was die Presse sagt: "F. Scott Fitzgeralds 'Der gro e Gatsby' ist ein Meisterwerk, das die Dekadenz und den moralischen Verfall der 1920er Jahre in Amerika eindrucksvoll einf ngt." - The New York Times "Fitzgeralds Erz hlkunst und seine scharfsinnige Gesellschaftskritik machen 'Der gro e Gatsby' zu einem unverzichtbaren Werk der amerikanischen Literatur." - The Washington Post ber F.

'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. A biting satire of America's illusions about itself, this definitive chronicle of the 1920s is also a timeless exploration of the allure of our own ideals and romantic imagination—and what happens when we fail to live up to them.

Beautifully illustrated by Alice Tye, this is a cornerstone of modernist fiction and an incisive critique of wealth, class and the inescapable heartache of lost love. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. Glamour. Opulence. Excess. This is the world Jay Gatsby has created for himself, in hopes that he will one day capture the eye of Daisy Buchanan. But beneath all of this is an emptiness that no amount of money can satiate. And so the ever-elusive American dream he craves continues to shine on, as intangible as the green light that haunts him from the home of his beloved, over the empty waters and across the barren dock.
