The Great Gatsby

<b>Love, money, revenge and betrayal - this is the Jazz Age novel that became the great American classic. </b><br><br>The world and his mistress are at Jay Gatsby’s party. But Gatsby stands apart from the crowd, isolated by a secret longing. In between sips of champagne his guests speculate about their mysterious host. Some say he’s a bootlegger. Others swear he was a German spy during the war. They lean in and whisper ‘he killed a man once’. Just where is Gatsby from and what is the obsession that drives him?<br><br><b>‘Shimmers with a magic that readers have long recognised…Fitzgerald was so far ahead of his time that we are only just catching up with him’ Sarah Churchwell, <i>Guardian</i><br><br>‘Not just one of the greatest works of American literature, but a timeless evocation of the allure, corruption and carelessness of wealth’ <i>The Times</i></b>
