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].

Nykomlingen Jack Carraway dras in i den mystiske miljonären Jay Gatsbys strävan att vinna tillbaka sin ungdomskärlek, Daisy Buchanan. Till de rika amerikaner som sökt sig till franska rivieran hör Dick och Nicole Driver. Bjudningarna i deras fashionabla villa frekventeras av alla betydande, så även av den unga filmstjärnan Rosemary Hoyt. Collegestudenten Cecilia Brady, dotter till en inflytelserik Hollywood-producent, gör sig redo att resa till Los Angeles. På flygplatsen springer hon på en av sin fars gamla vänner, i sällskap med en misslyckad producent som lämnar ett meddelande han vill att Cecilia ska framföra. I Tre romaner - som i en volym samlar Den store Gatsby [The Great Gatsby, 1925], Natten är ljuv [Tender Is the Night, 1934] och den postuma Den siste magnaten [The Last Tycoon, 1941] - blottlägger F.

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.

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.

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

Natten är ljuv är F. Scott Fitzgeralds första roman efter Den store Gatsby. Den utspelar sig på franska rivieran under 1920-talet där Dick och Nicole Diver lever ett glamoröst och spännande överklassliv tillsammans med andra rika amerikaner. I paret Divers fantastiska villa går konstnärer och andra excentriker in och ut, däribland den vackra artonåriga skådespelerskan Rosemary Hoyt. När hon får för sig att förföra Dick brister den ömtåliga struktur som håller ihop Dicks äktenskap med Nicole, och mörka hemligheter avslöjas. I Natten är ljuv har F. Scott Fitzgerald vidareutvecklat den granskning av rikedomens förödande effekt på den mänskliga naturen som blev så hyllad i Den store Gatsby. Han hämtar material och idéer från sin tids senaste rön i psykologi och psykiatri men också från sitt eget liv på ett sätt som gör Natten är ljuv till en djupt självbiografisk bok. Natten är ljuv är också den av hans böcker som han tyckte bäst om. ”Gatsby var ett kraftprov”, skrev han, ”men detta är en trosbekännelse”. Och Ernest Hemingway, som han lärde känna på Dingo Bar i Paris, menade att Natten är ljuv är en bok som bara blir bättre och bättre med åren. Idag betraktas Natten är ljuv som ett av den amerikanska litteraturens mest betydande verk, inte minst på grund av det lyriskt mättade språket. Meningar som ”Det var en klar, svart natt som hängde som i en korg från en enda matt stjärna” och ”Nicole hade blivit skapad för omväxling, för att flyga, med pengar som fenor och vingar” har blivit bevingade.

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.Det här är en ljudnovell från Novelliix, inläst av Björn Kjellman.

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.

The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. When Nick Carraway moves to West Egg, Long Island, he has no idea that the lavishly outfitted mansion next to his modest house is home to Jay Gatsby. Eventually, Nick becomes aware of Gatsby's intense interest in his cousin Daisy Buchanan, and when Daisy's brutish husband, Tom, probes Gatsby's background, he uncovers unsavory revelations about his rival's wealth. 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. Considered one of the greatest novels ever written, it explores the themes of love, loss, and the American Dream. 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.
