Description: The Great Gatsby is a story of the fabulous 1920s that incredible period in American history that ended in a crash from which we are all reeling still. The editors of Time Magazine report that Gatsby was the "first racketeer in United States fiction." Countless novels and motion pictures have followed the pattern since, but The Great Gatsby remains the most brillian and understanding prtrait of the first mad days of the bootleg era. It is by all odds Scot Fitzgerald's best book, and one that nobody interested in the development of American literabure can afford to overlook.
