The book presents 4 main novels: from the early works “This Side of Paradise” and “Beautiful and Doomed”, original manifestos of the youth of the “Jazz Age”, to the later recognized masterpieces - “The Great Gatsby”, “Tender is the Night.” This side of heaven." The story of Emory Blaine, a young and ambitious American who is capable of going to great lengths to achieve his goals, has become the personification of the “Jazz Age,” its aspirations and disappointments. As Fitzgerald himself said, “an author must write for the youth of his generation, for the critics of the next, and for the professors of all subsequent ones.” “The Beautiful and the Damned.” This time, Fitzgerald introduces us to the new heroes of the “roaring twenties” - the brilliant Anthony Patch and his beautiful wife Gloria. Waiting for Anthony's multimillionaire grandfather to die and leave them his enormous fortune, they spend their lives in New York, dining in the best restaurants, renting the most prestigious housing. It doesn’t take them long to realize that every choice has its own price—sometimes unaffordable... “The Great Gatsby” is Fitzgerald’s most famous novel, which has become a symbol of the “Jazz Age.” America, 1925, a time of Prohibition and gangster wars, bright lights and vibrant life. But for Jay Gatsby, the embodiment of the American dream turned into a real tragedy, and the path to the top, despite fame and wealth, led to total ruin. “Tender is the Night” is a surprisingly subtle and deeply psychological novel. And this is no coincidence: the book turned out to be largely autobiographical; Fitzgerald described in it the other side of his seemingly luxurious life with his wife Zelda. In the story of the moral degradation of a talented psychiatrist, he put the pain and suffering that he himself experienced in the fight against his wife’s schizophrenia... A jubilant, sparkling thirst for life, the desire for love, alluring and elusive, an exciting pursuit of wealth, but then the dream is broken to the sounds of jazz , and the eternal holiday turns into tragedy - this is what Fitzgerald’s prose is so varied and deep.
