F. Scott Fitzgerald’s enduring classic The Great Gatsby is beautifully presented as a Folio Society edition that includes a personal note by Francis Ford Coppola and exquisite artwork by Sam Wolfe Connelly.

Narrator Nick Carraway tells the story of his neighbour Jay Gatsby, whose parties at his Long Island mansion are as lavish as his past is mysterious. Yet Gatsby cares only for one of his guests: his lost love Daisy Buchanan, now married and living across the bay. Arguably the greatest American novel of the 20th century, Fitzgerald’s simple story has captivated readers, filmmakers and fellow writers for generations. This striking edition exudes the glamour and style of the 1920s with Sam Wolfe Connelly’s art deco-inspired illustrations and binding design, as well as an exclusive introduction by Michael Dirda and a note by Francis Ford Coppola, who wrote the screenplay for the fêted 1974 film.
