I get that some parents would prefer their students avoid the Great Gatsby, but I cannot think of another author who writes of this period of American culture and society like F. Scott Fitzgerald. His writing style blends into the Golden Age as much as his characters do. This particular book includes other stories he wrote, such as the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, O Russet Witch!, The Lees of Happiness, a one-act play called Mr. Icky, and a short romp of a story called Jemina, the Mountain Girl. While I wanted to keep reading, alas, I have other products to review. He paints us a picture with his lively wording. You feel like an observer of a scene. The cover of this book is gold, literally a metallic gold color, with words pressed into it. You feel them, albeit in a different way you feel the words inside the text. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Great Gatsby and Other Stories
Often described as the "Great American Novel," F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is the quintessential story of love, ambition, and wealth in the Roaring Twenties. In the Long Island village of West Egg, the rich and mysterious Jay Gatsby pursues the now-married Daisy Buchanan, whom he last saw five years ago, before amassing his fortune. Along with the eleven short stories from Fitzgerald's collection Tales of the Jazz Age—including "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"—this handsome Word Cloud edition makes a fine addition to anyone's bookshelf.
In this classic American novel of the Roaring Twenties, Nick Carraway moves East after coming home from World War I and finds himself living among the idle rich. As Nick surveys the reckless lives and relationships of high society, he is repeatedly drawn to one man who believes in and seems to embody the American Dream: Jay Gatsby. But in the end, Nick finds that the god of materialism brings only moral emptiness and destruction.
