Description

The Great Gatsby / The Last Tycoon by Scott Fitzgerald with an introduction by J. B. Priestley. 'In his introduction, J. B. Priestley writes: "I hope that this volume of Scott Fitzgerald will please his many admirers, and that it will attract a great many other readers not yet acquainted with him, for it contains the two works which I believe to be his finest and those most likely to endure. The Great Gatsby, his most perfectly planned and rounded piece of fiction, is one of the key novels of the 'twenties, and perhaps his masterpiece. The Last Tycoon contains his most mature writing and promised to be his supreme achievement. Its central character, Munroe Stahr, is undoubtedly Fitzgerald's finest individual creation, and the Hollywood of the middle 'thirties that the novel reveals to us, from the inside, is not the usual gaudy and unreal backcloth of film fiction but the real place as some of us remember it." The dust jacket has light general wear and the book has age spots down the page edges but overall a tidy and tight copy.
