The Great Gatsby (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket)

<p>In Spring 1922 Nick Carraway journeys east to New York City to obtain employment as a bond salesman. He rents a bungalow on Long Island next to a luxurious estate inhabited by Jay Gatsby an enigmatic multi-millionaire who hosts dazzling soir��es yet does not partake in them. Nick is quickly swept up in Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover Daisy Buchanan.</p><p><em>The Great Gatsby</em> was inspired by a youthful romance Fitzgerald had with a socialite and by parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922. Modern scholars emphasize the novel's treatment of social class inherited wealth compared to those who are self-made race environmentalism and its cynical attitude towards the American dream. <em>The Great Gatsby</em> is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.</p><p>This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.</p>
