This Side of Paradise

Amory Blaine, is a young man navigating the complexities of adolescence and adulthood against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. As he moves through the ivy-covered halls of elite boarding schools and the dazzling social scene of Princeton University, Amory encounters a cast of characters who shape his worldview and challenge his beliefs. From the enigmatic and alluring Rosalind Connage to the eccentric and philosophical Monsignor Darcy, each relationship offers Amory a glimpse into the complexities of human nature and the elusive nature of happiness. Set against the backdrop of the Jazz Age, with its indulgences and excesses, This Side of Paradise captures the spirit of a generation grappling with the aftermath of war and the promise of a new era.

F. SCOTT FITZGERALD [1896-1940] was an American author, born in St. Paul, Minnesota. His legendary marriage to Zelda Montgomery, along with their acquaintances with notable figures such as Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway, and their lifestyle in 1920s Paris, has become iconic. A master of the short story genre, it is logical that his most famous novel is also his shortest: The Great Gatsby [1925].
