About the Author
F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in St Paul, Minnesota, and went to Princeton University which he left in 1917 to join the army. Fitzgerald was said to have epitomised the Jazz Age, an age inhabited by a generation he defined as ‘grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken’. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their destructive relationship and her subsequent mental breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and The Love of the Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work): six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940. After his death The New York Times said of him that ‘He was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a “generation” … he might have interpreted them and even guided them, as in their middle years they saw a different and nobler freedom threatened with destruction.’

Very Good in Wrappers. 0451526104. Introduction By Jay Parini. 287 pages. paperback. CE2610. Cover: Archive Photos. keywords: Signet Classic America Literature Paperback 20th Century. DESCRIPTION - THIS SIDE OF PARADISE is the accomplished and heartbreaking first novel that catapulted F. Scott Fitzgerald to literary fame at the age of twenty - three. Considered scandalous (and brilliant) when it was published in 1920, it describes the intellectual, spiritual, and sexual education of young Amory Blaine in the tumultuous America of the early l9OOs. Highly sophisticated yet hopelessly romantic, Amory flounders from prep school to Princeton to glittering Jazz Age New York, confident that he is destined for greatness but unsure how to go about it. Fitzgerald's razor - sharp re - creation of a defiant, disillusioned generation 'grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken' makes This Side of Paradise a timeless autobiographical novel of youth and alienation. It moves from tenderness to cynicism to hope with the grace and power that stamp Fitzgerald as one of the greatest of American writers. inventory #31461. Seller Inventory # z31461
