The Great Gatsby: Annotated (English Edition)

The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first-person narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan.

Scott Fitzgerald's fictional narrative fully renders that period—known for its jazz music, economic prosperity, flapper culture, libertine mores, rebellious youth,and ubiquitous speakeasies. Fitzgerald uses many of these 1920s societal developments to tell his story, from simple details like petting in automobiles to broader themes such as bootlegging as the illicit source of Gatsby's fortune. This version has been carefully formatted to give readers a smooth read whilst maintaining all the original text so readers can have a full appreciation of the evolution of written and spoken English.

This version of the Book has been annotated with notes on each Chapter to help students of literature have a deeper appreciation of the style of F. Scott Fitzgerald, as well of the events that charaterized the setting within which the writing situated his story.
