This Side of Paradise is the debut novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Published in 1920, and taking its title from a line of the Rupert Brooke poem Tiare Tahiti, the book examines the lives and morality of post-World War I youth. Its protagonist, Amory Blaine, is an attractive Princeton University student who dabbles in literature. The novel explores the theme of love warped by greed and status-seeking.]]> Sat, 21 Jun 1997 15:18:49 +0300 The Great Gatsby https://classics.library.land/f-scott-fitzgerald/31522-the_great_gatsby.html https://classics.library.land/f-scott-fitzgerald/31522-the_great_gatsby.html

*The Great Gatsby*, F. Scott Fitzgerald's portrait of the Jazz Age in all its decadence and excess, is, as editor Maxwell Perkins praised it in 1924, "a wonder." It remains one of the most widely read, translated, admired, imitated and studied twentieth-century works of American fiction. This deceptively simple work, Fitzgerald's best known, was hailed by critics as capturing the spirit of the generation. In Jay Gatsby, Fitzgerald embodies some of America's strongest obsessions: wealth, power, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. The recording includes a selection of letters written by Fitzgerald to his editor, Maxwell Perkins, his agent, Harold Ober, and friends and associates, including Willa Cather, H.L. Mencken, John Peale Bishop and Gertrude Stein.

Set on the French Riviera in the late 1920s, *Tender Is the Night* is the tragic romance of the young actress Rosemary Hoyt and the stylish American couple Dick and Nicole Diver. A brilliant young psychiatrist at the time of his marriage, Dick is both husband and doctor to Nicole, whose wealth goads him into a lifestyle not his own, and whose growing strength highlights Dick's harrowing demise. A profound study of the romantic concept of character, *Tender Is the Night* is lyrical, expansive, and hauntingly evocative.]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 The Beautiful and Damned https://classics.library.land/f-scott-fitzgerald/31520-the_beautiful_and_damned.html https://classics.library.land/f-scott-fitzgerald/31520-the_beautiful_and_damned.html

**The classic novel of greed and vice from F. Scott Fitzgerald.** Set in an era of intoxicating excitement and ruinous excess, changing manners and challenged morals, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s second novel chronicles the lives of Harvard-educated Anthony Patch and his beautiful, willful wife, Gloria. This bitingly ironic story eerily foretells the fate of the author and his own wife, Zelda—from its giddy romantic beginnings to its alcohol-fueled demise. A portrait of greed, ambition, and squandered talent, *The Beautiful and Damned *depicts an America embarked on the greatest spree in its history, a world Fitzgerald saw “with clearer eyes than any of his contemporaries.”* By turns hilarious, heartbreaking, and chillingly prophetic, it remains one of his best-known works, which Gertrude Stein correctly predicted “will be read when many of his well-known contemporaries are forgotten.” *Tobias Wolff **]]> Thu, 23 Aug 2007 13:25:58 +0300 The Love of the Last Tycoon https://classics.library.land/f-scott-fitzgerald/31523-the_love_of_the_last_tycoon.html https://classics.library.land/f-scott-fitzgerald/31523-the_love_of_the_last_tycoon.html

*The Last Tycoon,* edited by the renowned literary critic Edmund Wilson, was first published a year after Fitzgerald's death and includes the author's notes and outline for his unfinished literary masterpiece. It is the story of the young Hollywood mogul Monroe Stahr, a character inspired by the life of boy-genius Irving Thalberg, and is an exposé of the studio system in its heyday.]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 Tales of the Jazz Age (Classic Reprint) https://classics.library.land/f-scott-fitzgerald/33299-tales_of_the_jazz_age_classic_reprint.html https://classics.library.land/f-scott-fitzgerald/33299-tales_of_the_jazz_age_classic_reprint.html

A TABLE OF CONTENTS MY LAST FLAPPERS THE JELLY-BEAN Page 3 This is a Southern story, with the scene laid in the small city of Tarleton, Georgia. I have a profound affection for Tarlelon, but somehow whenever I write a story about it I receive letters from all over the South denouncing me in no uncertain terms. "The Jelly-Bean," published in "The Metropolitan," drew its full share of these admonitory notes. It was written under strange circumstances shortly after my first novel was published, and, moreover, it was the first story in which I had a collaborator. For, finding that I was unable to manage the crap-shooting episode, I turned it over to my wife, who, as a Southern girl, was presumably an expert on the technique and terminology of that great sectional pastime. I suppose tluil of all the stories I have ever written this one cost me the least travail and perhaps gave me the most amuse-ment.

A fascinating study in self-satire that brings to life the Hollywood years of F. Scott Fitzgerald
The setting: Hollywood: the character: Pat Hobby, a down-and-out screenwriter trying to break back into show business, but having better luck getting into bars. Written between 1939 and 1940, when F. Scott Fitzgerald was working for Universal Studios, the seventeen Pat Hobby stories were first published in Esquire magazine and present a bitterly humorous portrait of a once-successful writer who becomes a forgotten hack on a Hollywood lot. "This was not art" Pat Hobby often said, "this was an industry" where whom "you sat with at lunch was more important than what you dictated in your office."
The Pat Hobby sequence, as Arnold Gingrich writes in his introduction, is Fitzgerald's "last word from his last home, for much of what he felt about Hollywood and about himself permeated these stories."]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Six Other Stories https://classics.library.land/f-scott-fitzgerald/31521-the_curious_case_of_benjamin_button_and_six_other_stories.html https://classics.library.land/f-scott-fitzgerald/31521-the_curious_case_of_benjamin_button_and_six_other_stories.html

Full grown with a long, smoke-coloured beard, requiring the services of a cane and fonder of cigars than warm milk, Benjamin Button is a very curious baby indeed. And, as Benjamin becomes increasingly youthful with the passing years, his family wonders why he persists in the embarrassing folly of living in reverse. In this imaginative fable of ageing and the other stories collected here including The Cut-Glass Bowl in which an ill-meant gift haunts a family s misfortunes, The Four Fists where a man’s life shaped by a series of punches to his face, and the revelry, mobs and anguish of May Day F.

Library of America presents the definitive novel of the Jazz Age in an authoritative new text—along with a quartet of brilliant stories that explore variations on the theme of desperate longing for an unattainable someone or something
Boats against the current, we are borne back ceaselessly to The Great Gatsby.

A self-portrait of a great writer 's rise and fall, intensely personal and etched with Fitzgerald's signature blend of romance and realism.The Crack-Up tells the story of Fitzgerald's sudden descent at the age of thirty-nine from glamorous success to empty despair, and his determined recovery. Compiled and edited by Edmund Wilson shortly after F. Scott Fitzgerald's death, this revealing collection of his essays—as well as letters to and from Gertrude Stein, Edith Wharton, T.S. Eliot, John Dos Passos—tells of a man with charm and talent to burn, whose gaiety and genius made him a living symbol of the Jazz Age, and whose recklessness brought him grief and loss. "Fitzgerald's physical and spiritual exhaustion is described brilliantly," noted The New York Review of Books: "the essays are amazing for the candor."]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 11:15:19 +0300 Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda https://classics.library.land/f-scott-fitzgerald/489065-dear_scott_dearest_zelda.html https://classics.library.land/f-scott-fitzgerald/489065-dear_scott_dearest_zelda.html
