Publisher Description
The most romantic literary lovers in history: Heathcliff and Cathy. Frederic and Catherine. Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby. Now, all three of their classic stories are collected in one volume: the Classic Romance Collection - Volume II featuring Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights," Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" and F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby."
First, we head to the English moors for "Wuthering Heights," the tale of Heathcliff and Catherine; he, an orphan taken in by a kindly benefactor, she, a spirited country girl who loves Heathcliff, but aspires to a higher station. As family turmoil, jealousy and ambition drive the couple apart, the story becomes a tragic tale of love deferred. Truly one of the great romance novels of all time.
Next, "A Farewell to Arms," Ernest Hemingway's towering tale of love during wartime. Frederic Henry is an American medic serving in the Italian army during the First World War who meets and falls in love with an English nurse named Catherine Berkley. Catherine has lost her fiancé in battle and initially rebuffs Frederic's advances, but when he is wounded at the Italian front and sent to her hospital for treatment, their romance blossoms, leading the two lovers to attempt to flee the conflict and start a life together.
Finally, we have F. Scott Fitzgerald's breathtaking novel of love, friendship and tragedy in 1920's New York, "The Great Gatsby," wherein we follow the story of Nick Carraway who befriends his mysterious neighbor, the enigmatic and fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby, a man determined to rekindle his romance with the now-married Daisy Buchanan, for whom he pines.
Three classic novels of love, drama and romance collected together for the first time, these books are presented in their original and unabridged format.

About the Authors
Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), born in Oak Park, Illinois, started his career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the age of seventeen. After the United States entered the First World War, he joined a volunteer ambulance unit in the Italian army. After his return to the United States, he became a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers. During the twenties, Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate Americans in Paris, which he described in his first important work, The Sun Also Rises. He also wrote Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea, the story of an old fisherman’s journey, his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea, and his victory in defeat. He also wrote short stories that are collected in Men Without Women and The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories. Hemingway died in Idaho in 1961.
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940) was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and educated at Princeton, where he was a leader in theatrical and literary activities. He began writing his first novel, This Side of Paradise, while serving in the army. Its publication in 1920 established him as the spokesman for the Jazz Age. His major novels include The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night.
Emily Brontë (1818–1848), sister of Anne and Charlotte, published only one novel in her career, Wuthering Heights. Though she died just one year after its publication and never knew of its success, the story of doomed love and revenge went on to earn its place among the masterpieces of English literature.
