Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una extraordinaria fábula sobre el sueño americano. Nominada por los estadounidenses como una de las 100 mejores novelas en la serie de PBS The Great American Read. Jay Gatsby, el caballero que reina sobre West Egg, es el arquetipo de aquellos míticos años veinte en que pareció que todo era posible, un tiempo de felicidad entre el horror de la Primera Guerra Mundial y la barbarie de la Segunda. Junto al resto de los protagonistas, representa a la Generación Perdida, a todos aquellos «jóvenes tristes» que personificaron el mito de la pasión y el desamor, de la literatura que se funde con la vida. Publicada por primera vez en 1925, El gran Gatsby está considerada como La Gran Novela Americana. Simboliza el triunfo, la perpetua juventud y el deslumbramiento que desembocan en la tragedia, la decadencia y la caída, constantes reflejadas con asombrosa precisión en la propia vida de Fitzgerald. «El gran Gatsby es el primer paso adelante dado por la narrativa norteamericana desde Henry James.» - T. S. Eliot «Él tenía una de las cualidades más raras en la literatura: encanto, encanto como Keats lo había tenido ¿y quién lo posee hoy día?» - Raymond Chandler «Fitzgerald representa el estilo, la profundidad y la lucidez… Hay frases en sus libros que quedarán grabadas para siempre en tu memoria… Bienvenido sea cualquier pretexto cinematográfico si sirve para que los lectores jóvenes descubran a Fitzgerald. Los viejos nunca hemos dejado de releerlo. La adicción que crea es para siempre.» Carlos Boyero, Babelia «Fitzgerald era el mejor de todos nosotros.» -Ernest Hemingway «Fitzgerald es mi autor favorito.» -Haruki Murakami «Le leerán cuando muchos de sus contemporáneos estén olvidados.» -Gertrude Stein ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read The Great Gatsby, F.

Book excerpt: El gran Gatsby es una novela de 1925 escrita por el autor estadounidense Francis Scott Fitzgerald que sigue a un grupo de personajes que viven en la ciudad ficticia de West Egg en la próspera Long Island, en el verano de 1922. Muchos críticos literarios consideran El Gran Gatsby una de las mejores novelas jamás escritas. La historia hace referencia principalmente al joven y misterioso millonario Jay Gatsby, su pasión quijotesca y la obsesión por la hermosa ex debutante Daisy Buchanan. Considerada como la obra maestra de Fitzgerald, El gran Gatsby explora los temas de decadencia, idealismo, resistencia al cambio, agitación social y el exceso, creando un retrato de la época del jazz, del art decó o de los locos años veinte que ha sido descrito como una advertencia con respecto al sueño americano. Fitzgerald, inspirado por las fiestas a las que había asistido durante sus visitas a la costa norte de Long Island comenzó a planear la novela en 1923, con el deseo de producir, en sus palabras, "algo nuevo, extraordinario, hermoso, simple, pero con un intrincado diseño."7 El progreso de Fitzgerald fue lento, al completar su primer proyecto luego de un traslado a la Riviera francesa en 1924. Su editor, Maxwell Perkins, sintió que el libro era vago y convenció al autor de revisarlo durante el siguiente invierno. Fitzgerald fue ambivalente en varias ocasiones acerca del título del libro y consideraba una variedad de alternativas, incluyendo títulos que hacían referencia al carácter romano Trimalción; el título que fue documentado por última vez que deseaba plasmar era Under the Red, White, and Blue. Publicado por primera vez por Scribner's en abril de 1925, El gran Gatsby recibió críticas mixtas y su venta fue mala; en su primer año, el libro vendió sólo 20,000 copias. Fitzgerald murió en 1940, creyéndose un fracaso y pensando que su obra estaba en el olvido. Sin embargo, la novela experimentó un renacimiento durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se convirtió en una parte del plan de estudios de la escuela secundaria estadounidense y tuvo numerosas adaptaciones teatrales y cinematográficas en las siguientes décadas. Hoy en día, El gran Gatsby es ampliamente considerado como un clásico de la literatura y un contendiente con el título de "gran novela estadounidense". En 1998, la junta editorial Modern Library lo votó como mejor novela norteamericana del siglo XX y la segunda mejor novela en idioma inglés del mismo período.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Jillian Cantor beautifully re-crafts an American classic in Beautiful Little Fools, placing the women of The Great Gatsby center stage: more than merely beautiful, not so little as the men in their lives assume, and certainly far from foolish. Both fresh and familiar, this page-turner is one to savor!” —Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code “Jillian Cantor’s shifting kaleidoscope of female perspectives makes F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic tale of Jazz Age longing and lust feel utterly modern. A breathtaking accomplishment.”—Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue USA Today bestselling author Jillian Cantor reimagines and expands on the literary classic The Great Gatsby in this atmospheric historical novel with echoes of Big Little Lies, told in three women’s alternating voices. On a sultry August day in 1922, Jay Gatsby is shot dead in his West Egg swimming pool. To the police, it appears to be an open-and-shut case of murder/suicide when the body of George Wilson, a local mechanic, is found in the woods nearby. Then a diamond hairpin is discovered in the bushes by the pool, and three women fall under suspicion. Each holds a key that can unlock the truth to the mysterious life and death of this enigmatic millionaire. Daisy Buchanan once thought she might marry Gatsby—before her family was torn apart by an unspeakable tragedy that sent her into the arms of the philandering Tom Buchanan. Jordan Baker, Daisy’s best friend, guards a secret that derailed her promising golf career and threatens to ruin her friendship with Daisy as well. Catherine McCoy, a suffragette, fights for women’s freedom and independence, and especially for her sister, Myrtle Wilson, who’s trapped in a terrible marriage. Their stories unfold in the years leading up to that fateful summer of 1922, when all three of their lives are on the brink of unraveling. Each woman is pulled deeper into Jay Gatsby’s romantic obsession, with devastating consequences for all of them. Jillian Cantor revisits the glittering Jazz Age world of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, retelling this timeless American classic from the women’s perspective. Beautiful Little Fools is a quintessential tale of money and power, marriage and friendship, love and desire, and ultimately the murder of a man tormented by the past and driven by a destructive longing that can never be fulfilled.

This faithful yet modern adaptation will appeal to fans with deep knowledge of the classic, while the graphic novel format makes it an ideal teaching tool to engage students.

Book excerpt: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” --- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby “I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.” --- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan. Considered to be Fitzgerald's magnum opus, The Great Gatsby explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream. Fitzgerald, inspired by the parties he had attended while visiting Long Island's north shore, began planning the novel in 1923 desiring to produce, in his words, "something new—something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately patterned." Progress was slow with Fitzgerald completing his first draft following a move to the French Riviera in 1924. His editor, Maxwell Perkins, felt the book was too vague and convinced the author to revise over the next winter. Fitzgerald was ambivalent about the book's title, at various times wishing to re-title the novel Trimalchio in West Egg. First published by Scribner's in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received mixed reviews and sold poorly; in its first year, the book sold only 20,000 copies. Fitzgerald died in 1940, believing himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. However, the novel experienced a revival during World War II, and became a part of American high school curricula and numerous stage and film adaptations in the following decades. Today, The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary classic and a contender for the title "Great American Novel". The book is consistently ranked among the greatest works of American literature. In 1998 the Modern Library editorial board voted it the 20th century's best American novel and second best novel in the English language.
