Young, handsome, and fabulously rich, Jay Gatsby seems to have everything. But at his mansion east of New York City, in West Egg, Long Island, where the party seems never to end, he's often alone in the glittering Jazz Age crowd, watching and waiting, as speculation swirls around him that he's a bootlegger, that he was a German spy during the war, that he even killed a man. As writer Nick Carraway is drawn into this decadent orbit, he begins to see beneath the shimmering surface of the enigmatic Gatsby, for whom one thing will always be out of reach: Nick's cousin, the married Daisy Buchanan, whose house is visible from Gatsby's just across the bay.
Junto con su esposa Zelda, heredera de una rica familia americana, Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) fue durante algunos años el centro de una brillante vida social e intelectual en los míticos escenarios dorados de los años veinte: París, Nueva York y Hollywood. Además de "El gran Gatsby", es el autor de "A este lado del paraíso" y "Hermosos y malditos", publicadas también en Alianza Editorial, "Suave es la noche" y "El último magnate".
