F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote in a friend's copy of Tender Is the Night, "If you liked The Great Gatsby, for God's sake read this. Gatsby was a tour de force but this is a confession of faith." Set in the South of France in the decade after World War I, Tender Is the Night is the story of a brilliant and magnetic psychiatrist named Dick Diver; the bewitching, wealthy, and dangerously unstable mental patient, Nicole, who becomes his wife; and the beautiful, harrowing ten-year pas de deux they act out along the border between sanity and madness.In Tender Is the Night, Fitzgerald deliberately set out to write the most ambitious and far-reaching novel of his career, experimenting radically with narrative conventions of chronology and point of view and drawing on early breakthroughs in psychiatry to enrich his account of the makeup and breakdown of character and culture.Tender Is the Night is also the most intensely, even painfully, autobiographical of Fitzgerald's novels; it smolders with a dark, bitter vitality because it is so utterly true. This account of a caring man who disintegrates under the twin strains of his wife's derangement and a lifestyle that gnaws away at his sense of moral values offers an authorial cri de coeur, while Dick Diver's downward spiral into alcoholic dissolution is an eerie portent of Fitzgerald's own fate.F. Scott Fitzgerald literally put his soul into Tender Is the Night, and the novel's lack of commercial success upon its initial publication in 1934 shattered him. He would die six years later without having published another novel, and without knowing that Tender Is the Night would come to be seen as perhaps its author's most poignant masterpiece. In Mabel Dodge Luhan's words, it raised him to the heights of "a modern Orpheus."

The Great Gatsby is the defining literary work of the 'Jazz Age', the decadent 1920s, and perhaps the ultimate novel about the American Dream. In spite of countless adaptions into movies and plays, it is through F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterful prose that the story of the unscrupulous and extravagant Jay Gatsby - as told by the honest Nick Carraway - continues to live on as a great American classic.
F. SCOTT FITZGERALD [1896-1940] was an American author, born in St. Paul, Minnesota. It seems fitting that he coined the term Jazz Age. His marriage to Zelda Montgomery is legendary, and so are the couple's acquaintances with cultural figures like Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway, as well as their lifestyle in 1920s Paris. As Fitzgerald was a master of the short story genre, it is only logical that his most famous novel is also his shortest: The Great Gatsby [1925].

Den store Gatsby [The Great Gatsby] är jazzerans, det dekadenta tjugotalets portalverk och den ultimata romanen om »den amerikanska drömmen«. Det kvittar hur många gånger den blir film. Eller teater. Eller opera. Det är genom F. Scott Fitzgeralds mästerliga prosa som historien om den skrupellöse och extravagante Jay Gatsby, berättad av den redlige Nick Carraway, lever vidare som den stora amerikanska klassikern. I svensk översättning av Gösta Olzon.
F. SCOTT FITZGERALD [1896-1940] var en amerikansk författare, född i St. Paul, Minnesota. Det ter sig passande att han myntade begreppet »jazzeran«. Äktenskapet med Zelda Montgomery är legendariskt, så även parets bekantskaper med till exempel Gertrude Stein och Ernest Hemingway och deras livsstil i Paris på tjugotalet. Mästare i novellgenren som han också var, är det logiskt att den mest berömda romanen är den kortaste: The Great Gatsby [1925].

Scott Fitzgerald 1920- och 30-talens lika spritindränkta och glamorösa som desillusionerade jazz-era. I översättning av Gösta Olzon, Arne Hägglund och Gunnar Barklund.

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics. The beloved author of The Great Gatsby brings together a surreal collection of short stories including 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'.In these eleven stories, Fitzgerald depicts the Roaring Twenties as he lived them. He masterfully blends accounts of flappers and the smart set with more fantastical visions of America, always imbuing his narratives with his trademark themes of money, class, ambition and love. In ‘May Day’, Fitzgerald weaves an account of a raucous Yale alumni party, the participants of which are oblivious to the violent socialist demonstration being acted out around them. ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ is an unorthodox account of a man who ages backwards, and ‘The Diamond as Big as the Ritz’ tells the story of a young man who discovers that his friend’s family possesses a diamond that is literally larger than the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. This 1922 collection confirmed Fitzgerald as the voice of his generation.

First published in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald's third novel offers a definitive portrait of the opulence and recklessness of the Jazz Age. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald was first published in 1925. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, New York, it tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a wealthy, mysterious, and complex man driven by an obsession with his past, and Daisy Buchanan, a married woman he loved in his youth.

The Great Gatsby has been adapted numerous times for film, most recently in 2013 starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby. Despite its commentary on a different time period in American history, the story is particularly relevant today—contrasting the glamorous lives of the wealthy with the realities beneath the surface and revealing the fallacy of the American Dream.

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics. From the beloved author of The Great Gatsby comes this razor-sharp satire on the excesses of the Jazz AgeFrom the author of The Great Gatsby, a tale of marriage and disappointment in the Roaring Twenties.Fitzgerald’s rich and detailed novel of the decadent Jazz Era follows the beautiful and vibrant Anthony Patch and his wife Gloria as they navigate the heady lifestyle of the young and wealthy in 1920s New York. Patch is the presumptive heir to his grandfather’s fortune, and keeps his equally spoiled wife in comfort while biding time until his grandfather’s death. Patch is unable to hold down any kind of job and spends his days in luxury, indulging in whatever pleasures are available. But as the money begins to fail, so does their marriage. Patch’s gradual descent into alcoholism, depression and alienation from his marriage ultimately lead to his ruin. Fitzgerald’s novel is a remorseless exploration of the horrors of an age of excess and lost innocence.F. Scott Fitzgerald is regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. Despite his present popularity, Fitzgerald was often in financial trouble, due to the fact that only one of his novels sold well enough to support the extravagant lifestyle that he and his wife Zelda adopted, and later Zelda’s medical bills. His novel The Great Gatsby has sold millions of copies and remains a continual best-seller.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's tale of tragic romance and material obsession set on the French Riviera, with a new Introduction by Michael NowlinBetween the First World War and the Wall Street Crash the French Riviera was the stylish place for wealthy Americans to visit. Among the most fashionable are psychoanalyst Dick Diver and his wife Nicole, who hold court at their villa. Into their circle comes Rosemary Hoyt, a film star, who is instantly attracted to them, but understands little of the dark secrets and hidden corruption that hold them together. As Dick draws closer to Rosemary, he fractures the delicate structure of his marriage and sets both Nicole and himself onto a dangerous path where only the strongest can survive. In this exquisite, lyrical novel, Fitzgerald has poured much of the essence of his own life; he has also depicted the age of materialism, shattered idealism and broken dreams.'One of the most wonderful writers of the twentieth century'Financial Times

F. Scott Fitzgerald hör till en av 1900-talets största amerikanska författare och hans roman Den store Gatsby är ständigt aktuell. I novellen Det sällsamma fallet Benjamin Button ger oss Fitzgerald en fascinerande historia om Benjamin Button, som lever ett bokstavligen bakvänt liv. Novellen publicerades första gången 1922 och har inte funnits på svenska tidigare, även om nog många är bekanta med den surrealistiska berättelsen genom regissören David Finchers film från 2008. Är det du som är min far? Mr Button och sköterskan ryckte till av förskräckelse. För om du är min far, fortsatte gamlingen i gnatig ton, så skulle jag önska att du tog mig härifrån eller åtminstone kunde be dem ordna fram en bekväm gungstol. Men för Guds skull, vem är du och var kom du ifrån? utbrast mr Button hetsigt. Jag kan inte säga exakt vem jag är eftersom jag föddes för bara några timmar sedan men mitt efternamn är tveklöst Button.Novellix ger ut små, snygga böcker i vykortsstorlek med en novell per bok.

Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the ‘Jazz Age’.Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him.The Great Gatsby is an undisputed classic of American literature from the period following the First World War and is one of the great novels of the twentieth century.

Revealing the breadth of F. Scott Fitzgerald's gift for the short story form, this Penguin Classics edition of The Case of Benjamin Button and Six Other Stories spans multiple genres and styles to dazzling effect.Full grown with a long, smoke-coloured beard, requiring the services of a cane and fonder of cigars than warm milk, Benjamin Button is a very curious baby indeed. And, as Benjamin becomes increasingly youthful with the passing years, his family wonders why he persists in the embarrassing folly of living in reverse. In this imaginative fable of ageing and the other stories collected here - including 'The Cut-Glass Bowl' in which an ill-meant gift haunts a family's misfortunes, 'The Four Fists' where a man's life shaped by a series of punches to his face, and the revelry, mobs and anguish of 'May Day' - F. Scott Fitzgerald displays his unmatched gift as a writer of short stories.'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', originally published in 1922, was made into a major motion picture directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton.F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) has acquired a mythical status in American literary history, and his masterwork The Great Gatsby is considered by many to be the 'great American novel'. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre, dubbed 'the first American Flapper', and their traumatic marriage and Zelda's gradual descent into insanity became the leading influence on his writing. As well as many short stories, Fitzgerald wrote five novels This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and, incomplete at the time of his death, The Last Tycoon.
