We are in New York City in the 1920s. It is the era of jazz, a time of wonders, art, excess, where the belief still prevails that money can buy happiness.

Gatsby is extremely wealthy, lives in a mansion, has a butler, servants, a Rolls-Royce, and throws legendary parties. No one knows where he comes from, or how he has acquired such a vast fortune, yet everyone is enchanted by his mysterious past and lifestyle.

He has something else. An absolute, unfulfilled, romantic love for the fragile yet beautiful Daisy. Gatsby stands out. And he is so hopelessly idealistic that he becomes truly magnificent.

This edition includes an introduction and a detailed biography of the author by the translator Argiro Zachariou.
