Explore the glitz, glamor, and greed of the "Roaring Twenties" with the Vocabbett Classics annotated edition of The Great Gatsby.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterful tale follows the enigmatic Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire with a mysterious past, as he yearns for the unattainable love of Daisy Buchanan. Through the eyes of Nick Carraway, we witness the unraveling of Gatsby's dream—and the darker truths that lie beneath the gilded surface of American society.

Set against the backdrop of Prohibition, Gatsby's world is one of contradictions, where high-society parties are fueled by illegal liquor and outward success is no guarantee of happiness. Hailed as the "great American novel," Fitzgerald's portrayal of excess and disillusionment has resonated with audiences for nearly a century.

In the Vocabbett Classics annotated edition, every page is enriched with insightful annotations, shedding light on the historical context, elusive vocabulary, and hidden symbolism. Whether reading for the first time or revisiting its pages, Erica Abbett's expert annotations will ensure a deeper understanding of Fitzgerald's most celebrated work.
