“Tales of the Jazz Age” is a collection of Francis Scott Kay Fitzgerald, opening the most complete collection of the writer’s short prose. For the first time, all the stories and essays published by Fitzgerald himself are presented in strict chronological order, starting with his first school and university publications and right up to the beginning of work on the novel “The Great Gatsby”. For Fitzgerald, the first half of the 1920s became a dizzying time of early success: in four years he wrote two novels that became bestsellers, a satirical play that failed miserably, and also prepared two large collections of short stories, one of which later gave its name to an entire era in American history. Despite the fact that novels are traditionally considered the pinnacle of Fitzgerald's work, it was the stories that brought Fitzgerald sustained popularity and success. As additions to the books of stories compiled by the author himself, this collection includes short stories and essays that were not included in the author's books for various reasons. Fitzgerald's texts are presented in new authentic translations, sounding in unison with the original texts; a detailed and up-to-date commentary on the texts will certainly serve as a basis for a new reading of the short prose of the American classic.
