Their neighbor, Jay Gatsby, throws extravagant and extraordinary parties in the exclusive and hallowed neighborhood of West Egg. The entanglements between these four characters form the backbone of F. Scott Fitzgerald's greatest work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen it was first published in 1925, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e was heralded \"a mystical, glamorous story of today\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e). Since then, the story of Jay Gatsby and his love for the treacherous, effervescent Daisy Buchanan has become a staple in high school and college classrooms, a beloved favorite of readers everywhere, and the #2 entry in the Modern Library's own list of the best novels of the twentieth century.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eF. Scott Fitzgerald\u003c\/b\u003e was considered the quintessential author of the Jazz Age. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1896, Fitzgerald attended Princeton University, where he began to write seriously. After joining the U.S. Army in 1917, Fitzgerald met Zelda Sayre, whom he later married. In 1920, Fitzgerald's first novel, \u003ci\u003eThis Side of Paradise, \u003c\/i\u003e transformed Fitzgerald overnight into a literary sensation. \u003ci\u003eThe Great Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e followed in 1925, although it was not as popular at the time as his second novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Beautiful and the Damned\u003c\/i\u003e. Fitzgerald died in 1940 of a heart attack. He was forty-four years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 05, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Great Gatsby\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper Grades, 9-12\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.3\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768451137824,"sku":"9780593133552","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/79f87ace2a1bf3a29837604dd0d51167.webp?v=1780330039","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-great-gatsby-paperback-4","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
