Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 - December 21, 1940) was an American writer of novels and short stories, whose works are evocative of the Jazz Age, a term he coined himself. He is widely regarded as one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the Twenties. He finished four novels, including This Side of Paradise, with another published posthumously, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with despair and age. This Side of Paradise is the debut novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Published in 1920, and taking its title from a line of the Rupert Brooke poem Tiare Tahiti, the book examines the lives and morality of post-World War I youth. Its protagonist, Amory Blaine, is an attractive Princeton University student who dabbles in literature and has the book's theme of love warped by greed and status-seeking.

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. Nº de ref. del artículo: z31461
