Originally entitled \u003ci\u003eTremalchio\u003c\/i\u003e, the novel was extensively revised at the galley stage, and emerged with a new title: \u003ci\u003eThe Great Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e. The novel sold poorly, however, and it was not until after Fitzgerald’s death in 1940 that \u003ci\u003eThe Great Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e began to be regarded as his greatest work—and by many as the great American novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Nick Carraway rents a cottage in an exclusive part of Long Island, he becomes curious about his neighbour in the mansion next door, where extravagant parties extend into the early hours.
