The Great Gatsby - New Illustrated Edition

When F. Scott Fitzgerald Judged Gatsby By Its Cover

But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days, under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground. Of course, there are several obvious differences between the final cover art and the bespectacled billboard, but if this is the connection, then the floating, faceless eyes of Doctor T.

Eckleburg serve as testament to the talent of each artist, as well as to the value of such collaborations.

It seems likely that this early draft inspired Fitzgerald to create his own eyes above the desolate landscape in the form of the Eckleburg billboard. The landscape became more abstract and the country road way was abandoned in favor of a cityscape that recalls the glowing lights of Times Square and Coney Island. With a big Hollywood movie now in theaters, some recent printings of the book have abandoned the classic cover in favor of one that ties in more closely with the film.

Perhaps its appropriate that the true meaning of the celestial eyes remain somewhat mysterious. Eckleburg ultimately serve as a reminder that signs are devoid of any meaning save that which we give them. Subscribe or Give a Gift. Humans Reached the Roof of the World 40, Years.

Product description Review " The Great Gatsby remains not just one of the greatest works of American literature, but a timeless evocation of the allure, corruption and carelessness of wealth Writing at the height of the boom, in the midst of the Roaring Twenties, Fitzgerald detected the ephemerality, fakery and corruption always lurking at the heart of the great American success story A prescient comment on the dying days of a gilded age that is brilliant entertainment with a very eloquent insight" Mirror "His masterpiece, an elegy for the American Dream, the greatest lost cause of them all" Los Angeles Times.
