Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was een Amerikaanse schrijver wiens werken vaak geassocieerd worden met het "Jazz Age", een tijdperk dat hij naar verluidt zelf heeft bedacht. Hij wordt beschouwd als een van de grootste schrijvers van de twintigste eeuw, wiens creaties thema's als jeugd, wanhoop en ouderdom verkennen. Fitzgeralds proza vangt de sfeer van de "Lost Generation", Amerikanen die volwassen werden tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Zijn kenmerkende stijl roept de geest van zijn tijd op en onderzoekt de complexiteit van menselijke verlangens en teleurstellingen.

If the 'Roaring Twenties' are remembered as the era of 'flaming youth', it was F. Scott Fitzgerald who lit the fire. His semi-autobiographical first novel, This Side of Paradise, became an instant best-seller and established an image of seemingly carefree, party-mad young men and women out to create a new morality for a new, post-war America. It traces the early life of Amory Blaine from the end of prep school through Princeton to the start of an uncertain career in New York City. This volume has an exquisitely designed bonded-leather binding, with distinctive gilt edging and a silk-ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, this book offers hours of pleasure to readers young and old and is an indispensable cornerstone for any home library.
Inseparably associated with a point in history he claimed to despise, F. Scott Fitzgerald is both the quintessential Jazz-Age writer and perhaps the era's harshest critic.
