F. Scott Fitzgerald

Four unforgettable works by the author of The Great Gatsby—one of the greatest writers of America's Lost Generation.

 

This Side of Paradise: Amory Blain experiences a childhood of worldly sophistication before a medical condition forces him to face reality.

The Beautiful and the Damned: The presumptive heir to an enormous fortune, Anthony Patch is a bon vivant of New York society. He and his wife, Gloria, live a life of extravagant pleasure until Anthony's inheritance disappears and the Great War breaks out, sending their glittering marriage on a disastrous downward spiral.
