Flappers and Philosophers: The Collected Short Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald (Penguin F Scott Fitzgerald Hardback Collection)

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 Damned, Tender is the Night and The Love of the Last Tycoon. Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.

Zusammenfassung: Eine Sammlung von Geschichten wie "Der Diamant so gross wie das Ritz", ein Märchen über unbegrenzten Reichtum; die traurigen und humorvollen Geschichten des Hollywood-Autors Pat Hobby; und "Das verlorene Jahrzehnt". Autoren: F. Scott Fitzgerald Vom Autor: F. Scott Fitzgerald wurde 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota, geboren und besuchte die Princeton University, die er 1917 verliess, um in die Armee einzutreten. Fitzgerald galt als Inbegriff der Jazz-Ära, einer Zeit, die von einer Generation geprägt war, die er als 'erwachsen geworden, um festzustellen, dass alle Götter tot, alle Kriege geführt und alle Glaubenssätze an den Menschen erschüttert sind' definierte. 1920 heiratete er Zelda Sayre. Ihre zerstörerische Beziehung und ihre anschliessenden psychischen Zusammenbrüche hatten einen grossen Einfluss auf sein Schreiben. Zu seinen Veröffentlichungen gehören fünf Romane: Diese Seite des Paradieses, Der grosse Gatsby, Die Schönen und Verdammten, Zärtlich ist die Nacht und Die Liebe des letzten Tycoons. Fitzgerald starb 1940 plötzlich.
