Description :
The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby (1925) is F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel of the American Jazz Age. It is the story of a fundamentally innocent man drawn to his own destruction through infatuation with a girl called Daisy, whose voice is "full of money." After his war service, Jay Gatsby accumulates a fortune from organized crime and invents a legendary new
persona for himself. He buys a luxury property on Long Island, across the water from the mansion where Daisy now lives with her husband. He throws extravagant parties to attract her, but her arrival only signals the unravelling of Gatsby's cherished dream.
This Side of Paradise
Amory Blaine, a wealthy Midwestern boy set on rejecting his upbringing, turns his
ambitions to the elite society of the east coast. But as Blaine progresses through a sequence of romantic attachments, the life he longs for continues to elude him.
Fitzgerald's debut novel examines the way in which greed, money, and the lust for power can corrupt life, love, and human relationships.
The Beautiful and Damned
“The magnificent attitude of not giving a damn... and to seek the moment's happiness as fervently and persistently as possible." Anthony and Gloria Patch are a rich and passionate couple who drink and dance away their days in glorious decadence. Gloria is a beautiful and vibrant socialite, while Anthony, a Harvard-educated man who
yearns for the finer things in life, is the heir to a great fortune. But as the money starts to run out, the marriage begins to crumble. First published in 1922, The Beautiful and Damned is a brilliant portrait of New York during the Jazz Age, a haunting exploration of the loss of innocence, and above all, a remarkable literary achievement.
Flappers and Philosophers
F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote many stories during the course of his career. Flappers and Philosophers includes some of his earliest short stories, all published in 1920 and covering a number of themes to which Fitzgerald would return in other stories and in some of his novels. This collection contains eight stories, including one of his most famous, "Bernice Bobs Her Hair.” Among the other stories are "The Offshore Pirate," in which the protagonist falls in love with the pirate who captures her; "Head and Shoulders,” the tale of a couple who undergo a role reversal; and "The Cut-Glass Bowl," about an objet d'art that features in various difficult or tragic events endured by a New York couple. Dating from the beginning of Fitzgerald's career, this entertaining collection reveals an American society on the verge of jumping wholeheartedly into
the brilliance of the “Jazz Age."
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Tales of the Jazz Age
Benjamin Button is born as an old man, but unlike most people, he grows younger over time. As he grows up, he encounters prejudice, shock, and delight as he seeks to live an ordinary life. Touching and profound, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is a uniquely moving meditation on the experience of growing up in a world that struggles to accept the unfamiliar. This collection also includes several of F. Scott Fitzgerald's stories set in the Roaring Twenties, which he termed the "Jazz Age," such as "The Jelly Bean," "May Day," and "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz." Ranging from the farcical to the insightful, Fitzgerald presents an enlightening portrait of 1920s America in these stories while always remembering that the first duty of a writer is to entertain.
