Penguin Readers is an ELT graded reader series. Please note that the eBook edition does NOT include access to the audio edition and digital book. Written for learners of English as a foreign language, each title includes carefully adapted text, new illustrations and language learning exercises. Titles include popular classics, exciting contemporary fiction, and thought-provoking non-fiction, introducing language learners to bestselling authors and compelling content.
The eight levels of Penguin Readers follow the Common European Framework of Reference for language learning (CEFR). Exercises at the back of each Reader help language learners to practise grammar, vocabulary, and key exam skills. Before, during and after-reading questions test readers' story comprehension and develop vocabulary. The Great Gatsby, a Level 3 Reader, is A2 in the CEFR framework. The text is made up of sentences with up to three clauses, introducing first conditional, past continuous and present perfect simple for general experience.
It is well supported by illustrations, which appear on most pages. Everybody wants to know Jay Gatsby. He is handsome and very rich. He owns a big house, and he has wonderful parties there. But after the music and dancing, does anybody really know who Jay Gatsby is? This is a story of love, money, and secrets.

Exclusively with the print edition, readers can unlock a digital book and audio edition (not available with the eBook).
La meilleure façon de découvrir ou redécouvrir un classique et de travailler son anglais !
Dans les années 20, à long island, vit un mystérieux personnage appelé Gatsby. Mais qui est donc cet homme, amoureux transit de la belle Daisy, qui donne des versions différentes de sa vie passée à tout un chacun et organise des fêtes somptueuses et onéreuses ?
Nous le découvrons au fil des pages grâce à son voisin et ami Nick Carraway. Nous découvrons aussi la superficialité, l'opportunisme et l'abandon.
Francis Scott Fitzgerald dépeint une époque et ses différences sociales mais aussi la noirceur de comportements lâches et profiteurs !
