In a summer of jazz, money, and half-spoken dreams, Gatsby longs for something he has already lost. Through Nick Carraway's restrained voice, The Great Gotsby drifts through glittering parties and quiet disappointments. F. Scott Fitzgerald's portrait of 1920s America lingers in its silences and the underlying meaning in what is both said and unsaid.

About the Author:
F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in St Paul, Minnesota, and went to Princeton University which he left in 1917 to join the army. Fitzgerald was said to have epitomised the Jazz Age, an age inhabited by a generation he defined as 'grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken'.

In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their destructive relationship and her subsequent mental breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender is the Night and The Love of the Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work): six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces.
