The cover of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, The Great Gatsby, is a work of art in itself. Designed by Francis Cugat, the cover features a haunting image of a disembodied face floating above a cityscape. The cover perfectly captures the decadence and disillusionment of the Jazz Age, which is a central theme of the book. It is a visually stunning cover that draws readers in and sets the tone for the tragic story that unfolds within its pages.
