"Athletes and Philosophers" is a collection of essays and novels by the American writer Francis Scott Fitzgerald, which impresses with its atmosphere of fun and spirituality of the 1920s. In these works, the author reveals the brokenness of the soul of American youth, who feel the freedom and weight of choice in the journey through the world of adulthood. Fitzgerald writes about love, dreams, disappointment and despair, embodying on the pages of the book shades of life that remain relevant even in modern times. "Track and Field Athletes and Philosophers" is a velvet rock-and-roll style, where every word is melodic, and every idea is as bright as a shimmering extravaganza.
