Titel: The Great Gatsby Auteur: F. Scott Fitzgerald ISBN: 9780241965672 Conditie: Used A beautiful new edition of F. Scott Fitzgeralds classic novel the Great Gatsby to coincide with the release of Baz Luhrmanns film. there was music from my neighbours house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. Everybody who is anybody is seen at the glittering parties held in millionaire Jay Gatsbys mansion in West Egg, east of New York. the riotous throng congregates in his sumptuous garden, coolly debating Gatsbys origins and mysterious past. None of the frivolous socialites understands him and among various rumours is the conviction that he killed a man. A detached onlooker, Gatsby is oblivious to the speculation he creates, but always seems to be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. As writer Nick Carraway is drawn into this decadent orbit, Gatsbys destructive dreams and passions are revealed, leading to disturbing and tragic consequences. Not only a page turner and heartbreaker, its one of the most quintessentially American novels ever written Time F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St Paul, Minnesota in 1896. He studied at Princeton University before joining the army in 1917. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. their traumatic relationship and subsequent breakdowns became a major influence on his writing.

F. Scott Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.
