The Great Gatsby: A Graphic Novel Adaptation cover

A sumptuously illustrated adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s beloved novel of the 1920s, in a vivid and accessible new format.
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 masterpiece roars into life in this sweeping, dreamy graphic novel – among the first adaptations of the book in this genre. Painted in lush watercolours, the inventive interpretation emphasizes both the extravagance and mystery of the characters, and excerpts from the original text weave themselves through the illustrations. Prepare to be carried off on a cloud of whimsical romance with Daisy and Gatsby, in a reading experience reminiscent of Hollywood classic movies.

The graphic novel format makes it an ideal teaching tool to engage GCSE and higher level Literature students of Gatsby, and the art-deco gift design will prove irresistible to existing fans and collectors. With its timeless critique of class, power and obsession, The Great Gatsby Graphic Novel captures the energy of an era and the enduring resonance of one of the world’s most beloved books.
