About The Great Gatsby

Written by F. Scott Fitzgerald almost 100 years ago, The Great Gatsby is considered one of the greatest American novels, capturing the essence of the Jazz Age and exploring themes of wealth, ambition, love, and the elusive nature of the American Dream. 

The story follows Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, and his pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, a wealthy young woman whom he loved in his youth.

Although the novel initially received mixed reviews and sold poorly, it gained significant recognition after Fitzgerald's death, eventually becoming a staple of American literature taught in schools worldwide. Its impact on popular culture and literature has been profound, influencing countless works that explore similar themes of decadence and disillusionment.

The Great Gatsby has been adapted multiple times for film and television, the most notable being the 2013 film directed by Baz Luhrmann, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio and won two Academy Awards for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design. The novel's lyrical prose, complex characters, and vivid depiction of the Roaring Twenties have ensured its enduring legacy in modern storytelling.

As of 2020, The Great Gatsby has sold over 30 million copies worldwide. And, much like Jay Gatsby’s greed, book sales continue to grow, with 500,000 copies sold annually! Thanks to the 42 different translations, many of these editions are sold outside of America.
