backcover text:
No one ever knew who Gatsby was
Some said he had been a German spy, others that he was related to one of Europe's royal families. Nearly everyone took advantage of his fabulous hospitality. And it was fabulous. In his superb Long Island home he gave the most amazing parties, and not the least remarkable thign about them was that few people could recognize their host. He seemed to be a man without history: whose eyes were always searching the glitter and razzamatazz for something ... someone?
The Great Gatsby is one of the great love stories of our time. In it the author distilled the essences of glamour ans illusion so powerfully that his book has haunted and tantalized generations of readers.
