In the newest entry in Beehive Books' ILLUMINATED EDITIONS line,
Fitzgerald's hauntingly beautiful masterpiece is housed in a
shimmering die-cut embossed slipcase, printed on uncoated acid-free
paper, and published in an oversized 9x12" trim format.
Fitzgerald's beloved account of the devastating costs of the
American dream gets a fittingly gorgeous update in this high-end
art-book edition, elaborately decorated by the famed Italian
illustrators known at the Balbusso Twins. Featuring more than fifty
full color illustrations that combine jazz age decadence with a
sleek, almost futuristic sensibility, this elegantly designed
volume brings the roaring twenties straight into the 2020s. Anna
and Elena Balbusso are celebrated graphic artists with over 80
international awards to their name. They specialize in literary
illustration, with several works for The Folio Society including
their much-lauded take on Margaret Atwood's HANDMAID'S TALE. They
continue their string of stunning illustrated editions of literary
classics with an American classic that remains potent and relevant
for today's economic divide. Whether you're a fan of classic
literature, a lover of beautiful illustration and design, or a
collector of exceptionally gorgeous books, this edition will please
the eye as much as Fitzgerald's story challenges the status quo.
"Make the Earth your companion. Walk lightly on it, as other
creatures do." With this powerfully reverent refrain, readers are
reminded to treat the world around us with the respect it deserves
and the care it needs. Mountains, lakes, rivers, grasslands,
forests, deserts--even the sky above--all of our natural environs
have some message to impart, if we will but listen. Picturesque
illustrations imbue the images with mysticism, making visual
connections to not only the words themselves but to the feelings of
wonder they evoke.
