The Great Gatsby (1925) is a short novel with a long life after publication. In the summer of 1922, Nick Carraway rents a small house on Long Island, next to the mansion of the millionaire Jay Gatsby, who throws lavish parties and whom nobody seems to know.
This edition, in English, follows the 1925 text through a public-domain transcription and adds footnotes on Prohibition, the Black Sox scandal, the geography of Long Island, the songs, the prices and the words. Every note rests on a verifiable source; where a fact could not be confirmed, the passage is left without a note.
