Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In 'Absolution and Other Stories,' F. Scott Fitzgerald presents a compelling collection of narratives that delve into themes of identity, morality, and the complexities of human relationships. Characterized by Fitzgerald's signature lyrical prose and keen psychological insight, the stories often reflect the tumultuous social landscape of the 1920s America, capturing moments of both personal epiphany and existential despair. Employing a modernist style, Fitzgerald weaves rich imagery and profound emotional depth into each tale, inviting readers to explore the evocative interplay between aspiration and disillusionment. Fitzgerald, an emblematic figure of the Jazz Age, utilized his own experiences amidst the roaring twenties to illuminate the fragility of the American Dream. His upbringing in a middle-class household and tumultuous marriage infused his work with a profound understanding of both privilege and longing. 'Absolution and Other Stories' showcases Fitzgerald's growth as a writer, as he grapples with themes that resonate with his own life, marked by both glamour and tragedy, offering insight into the psyche that propelled his literary career. This collection is a must-read for both admirers of Fitzgerald and newcomers to his work. It serves as a profound exploration of the human condition, rendered with exquisite artistry. Readers are invited to confront the timeless questions of morality and redemption as Fitzgerald's narratives resonate with an enduring relevance, making it an essential addition to any literary enthusiast's library. 156 pp. Englisch.

Absolution and Other Stories : Jazz Age Tales of Guilt, Class Desire, Catholic Confession, and Lost Innocence
Print on DemandSeller: AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Absolution and Other Stories gathers F. Scott Fitzgerald's sharply polished short fiction around themes of guilt, aspiration, self-invention, and spiritual hunger. The title story, with its portrait of young Rudolph Miller and the troubled Father Schwartz, fuses Catholic moral drama with Fitzgerald's characteristic lyricism and social acuity. Written in the orbit of the Jazz Age, these stories balance glittering surfaces with inward unease, revealing the emotional costs of fantasy, class desire, and romantic illusion. Fitzgerald, born in 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota, became the defining chronicler of postwar American youth, wealth, and disillusionment. His own experiences-Catholic schooling, Princeton ambitions, literary celebrity, financial instability, and his marriage to Zelda Sayre-deeply shaped his fiction. Absolution is especially significant for its connection to The Great Gatsby: Fitzgerald once conceived elements of it as part of Gatsby's imaginative and moral prehistory. This collection is recommended for readers who admire Fitzgerald beyond the famous novels. It offers an intimate view of his craft in concentrated form: elegant, psychologically alert, and haunted by the distance between dreams and conduct. Seller Inventory # 9788028332839
