Published for the first time in flipback - the new, portable, stylish format that's taken Europe by storm.

Gatsby and Daisy meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer.

They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying but extremely rich Tom Buchanan.

After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing.
