Tales of the Jazz Age

Autor F. Scott Fitzgerald
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 feb 2019
First published in 1922, "Tales of the Jazz Age" is a collection of 11 short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Many of the stories had appeared in magazines such as "Collier's," "Vanity Fair," and the "Saturday Evening Post" before they were included in this collection. Many of the themes that are found in Fitzgerald's other famous works can be found in these stories as well: the disparity between the wealthy and the poor, bad things happening to good people, strange and unique characters, and love gone bad. Included are such classics as the surprising "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," considered by many to be one of his best short stories. It tells the fascinating story of a child born as an old man and who ages backwards through his life. This story, as well as others in this collection, captures the unique challenges faced by "the Lost Generation" of men and women left traumatized and disillusioned by the First World War and the tragic destruction of so many lives. Fitzgerald's mastery of the short story and his unequaled ability to capture the excitement and sadness of the early twentieth-century is on full display in "Tales of the Jazz Age." This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Notă biografică

Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) published his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920 to instant acclaim. Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda embodied the spirit of the Jazz Age-the glamour and grit of which Fitzgerald captured in stories and novels that powerfully resonate today, including The Beautiful and Damned and Tender Is the Night. Haunted by alcoholism, marital problems, and Zelda's illness, Fitzgerald took his immense literary talents to the dream factories of Hollywood where he died in 1940 while working on his unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon.

Recenzii

He was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a generation.
