Beautiful and Damned F. Scott Fitzgerald
Vintage Classics 2011-05-02 0099541491 / 9780099541493 Paperback New Paperback
The Beautiful and Damned is the story of Anthony Patch and his wife, Gloria. Harvard-educated and an aspiring aesthete, Patch is waiting for his inheritance upon his grandfather's death. His reckless marriage to Gloria is fueled by alcohol and is destroyed by greed. The Patches race through a series of alcohol-induced fiascoes -- first in hilarity, and then in despair. The Beautiful and Damned, a devastating portrait of the nouveaux riches, New York night life, reckless ambition, and squandered talent, was published in 1922 on the heels of Fitzgerald's first novel. It signaled his maturity as a storyteller and, more important, as a novelist.

This Side of Paradise (Everyman's Library Classics & Contemporary Classics) F. Scott Fitzgerald
Everyman's Library 1996-07-15 0679447237 / 9780679447238 Hardcover New Hardcover
F. Scott Fitzgerald's extraordinary career as a novelist ended abruptly and unhappily, but it began with one of the most brilliant first novels in the history of American literature. Published when its author was just twenty-three, This Side of Paradise is about the education of a youth, and to this universal story Fitzgerald brought the promise of everything that was new in the vigorous, restless America during the years following World War I. Amory Blaine--egoistic, versatile, callow, and imaginative--inhabits a book that is interwoven with songs, poems, playscripts, and questions and answers. His growth from self-absorption to sexual awareness and personhood is described by means of a continuous improvisatory energy and delight. Far from being distracting, Fitzgerald's formal inventiveness and verve only heighten our sense that the world being described is our own modern world. A profound coherence informs This Side of Paradise--a coherence born of its author's uncanny ability to revel in the fragmented surfaces of human life while exploring and comprehending its serene depths.Originally published in 1920, This Side of Paradise marked the beginning of what was to be one of the most distinguished and most tragic careers in American letters. Now, as part of The Cambridge Edition of the Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Cambridge University Press offers a fully annotated, corrected text, edited by James L. W. West III.
