The Great Gatsby: Annotated Edition

Explore the glitz, glamor, and greed of the “Roaring Twenties” with the annotated edition of The Great Gatsby by Renaissance Revival. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterful tale follows the enigmatic Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire with a mysterious past, as he yearns for the unattainable love of Daisy Buchanan. Through the eyes of Nick Carraway, we witness the unraveling of Gatsby’s dream–and the darker truths that lie beneath the gilded surface of American society. Set against the backdrop of Prohibition, Gatsby’s world is one of contradictions, where high-society parties are fueled by illegal liquor and outward success is no guarantee of happiness.
