About the author

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American fiction writer, whose works helped to illustrate the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age. While he achieved popular success, fame, and fortune in his lifetime, he did not receive much critical acclaim until after his death. Perhaps the most notable member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s, Fitzgerald is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon, was published posthumously. Four collections of his short stories were published, as well as 164 short stories in magazines during his lifetime.

Den store Gatsby

Genudgivelse i luksus-hardback. Den store Gatsby er F. Scott Fitzgeralds (1896-1940) hovedværk og smukke, kringlede og ekstraordinære roman, der tegner et billede af jazztiden i al dens dekadence og overflod, og et symbol på den amerikanske drøm. Den fattige officer Gatsby forelsker sig hovedkulds i den legendariske skønhed Daisy. Men mens han er ved fronten i Første Verdenskrig, gifter hun sig rigt med den brutale Tom Buchanan. Gatsby vender tilbage fra krigen med to mål: at blive rig og at vinde Daisy tilbage. Men da hun endelig indfinder sig, udvikler begivenhederne sig med tragisk uafvendelighed. Genudgivelsen er trykt efter den tidligere udgave, der indeholder forord af forfatteren Hanne-Vibeke Holst.
