Since its publication in 1925, The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s account of the American dream gone awry, has established itself as one of the most popular and widely read novels in the English language. Until now, however, no edition has printed the novel exactly as Fitzgerald himself wrote it. From its first edition onward, the text has been subject to rigorous house-styling that has distorted the characteristic rhythms and structure of his sentences. This critical edition draws on the manuscript and surviving proofs of the novel, together with Fitzgerald’s subsequent revisions to key passages, to provide the first authoritative text of The Great Gatsby. This volume also includes a detailed account of the genesis, composition, and publication of the novel; a full textual apparatus; crucial early draft material; helpful glosses on the peculiar geography and chronology of the book; and explanatory notes on topical allusions and historical references that contemporary readers might otherwise miss. Fitzgerald’s great masterpiece is thus brought closer to a cross-section of readers, more accessibly and more authentically than ever before.
Great Gatsby
ПрочиеGenerally considered to be F.Scott Fitzgerald’s finest novel, «The Great Gatsby» is a consummate summary of the «roaring twenties» and a devastating expose of the «Jazz Age». Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore of the American seaboard in the 1920s, to encounter Nick’s cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the dark mystery which surrounds him.»The Great Gatsby» is an undisputed classic of American literature from the period following the First World War and is one of the great novels of the twentieth century.Издание на английском языке.
