Beautifully illustrated by Alice Tye, this is a cornerstone of modernist fiction and an incisive critique of wealth, class and the inescapable heartache of lost love.In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.Glamour. Opulence. Excess. This is the world Jay Gatsby has created for himself, in hopes that he will one day capture the eye of Daisy Buchanan. But beneath all of this is an emptiness that no amount of money can satiate. And so the ever-elusive American dream he craves continues to shine on, as intangible as the green light that haunts him from the home of his beloved, over the empty waters and across the barren dock.

Everybody wants to know Jay Gatsby. He is handsome and very rich. He owns a big house, and he has wonderful parties there. But after the music and dancing, does anybody really know who Jay Gatsby is? This is a story of love, money, and secrets. Penguin Readers is a series of the best new fiction, essential non-fiction and popular classics written for learners of English as a foreign language.
