{"product_id":"great-gatsby-1","title":"Great Gatsby","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate – a marvelous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period – which reveals a hero like no other – one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.\r\n\r\n\"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life.... It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again.\"\r\n\r\nIt is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous entertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan – a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.\r\n\r\nIt is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.\r\n\r\n--first edition jacket\r\n\r\n\r\n----------\r\nAlso contained in:\r\n\r\n - [The Fitzgerald Reader](https:\/\/openlibrary.org\/works\/OL468551W\/The_Fitzgerald_Reader)\r\n - [Three Novels of F.
