Francis Scott Fitzgerald, who heralded the beginning of a new century to the world - the “Jazz Age”, stands apart in modern American classics. Hemingway wrote about him: “His talent was as natural as the pattern of pollen on the wings of a butterfly.” His novels “The Great Gatsby” and “Tender is the Night” influenced the formation of a new world literary tradition of the 20th century. However, Fitzgerald is also known as the author of brilliant stories, of which only a small part has been translated into Russian. The book brought to your attention—already the second of several planned for publication, after “New Melodies of Sad Orchestras”—is intended to correct this unfortunate omission. So, for the first time in Russian - fifteen sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but invariably brilliant stories from a recognized master of subtle psychologism. And what is important - again in brilliant translations.
