Celebrate an unforgettable classic, with this Special Edition of The Great Gatsby!
Only this CLASSICS MADE EASY™ edition includes a comprehensive 340-WORD GLOSSARY. Now you can fully UNDERSTAND the historical and cultural references used throughout the story.
PLUS: This book also includes a biographical article on the author, historical context and more!
This very special edition includes:
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate-a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period-which reveals a hero like no other-one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life ... It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again."
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous entertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan-a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.
As befits such a magnificent work of literature, Classics Made Easy spent thousands of hours researching over 340 hard to understand words and phrases, as well as the 75 locations mentioned throughout the book, plus detailing the full cast of characters!
