F. Scott Fitzgerald decribed the life of people that were rich and enjoyed life, and of people that were happy but that want to become rich to do the same. Some people want to be rich, some want to be happy, most want to be both. On seeing Francis Cugat's cover design F. Scott Fitzgerald decided to write the cover into the book i.e. he adapted the storyline to the design for the cover. I have read several editions of The Great Gatsby including the first edition published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1925, I watched the full movie but every time I thought, that this is not what the author intended. These scenes were left out of the movie: All scenes of the music video Young and Beautiful were included in the movie: The glamourous life of the social class he wanted to belong to is what he had in mind. On reading the edition ISBN 9789464438871 that I snapped up on: www.boekenbestellen.nl/boek/gatsbyin which the cover was literally printed onto the book, I thought to myself: This is what F. Scott Fitzgerald had in mind. Hey, the twenties are back, read this book and let the good times roll!
