This Side of Paradise by F Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald's debut novel of love and greed, now repackaged with a beautifully designed jacket by noted illustrator Malika Favre.This Side of Paradise tells the story of Amory Blaine, the only child of wealthy parents, whose journey from adolescence to adulthood follows him from prep school through to Princeton University, where his literary talents flourish, in contrast to his academic failure. A sequence of love affairs with beautiful young women is fatally damaged by the collapse of his family's fortune, and the novel ends with him poised to face the challenge of making his own way in the world.
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940) was born in St. Paul, Minnesota. He attended Princeton University, joined the United States Army during World War I, and published his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920. That same year he married Zelda Sayre, and for the next decade the couple lived in New York, Paris, and on the French Riviera. Fitzgerald’s masterpieces include The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. He died at the age of forty-four while working on The Last Tycoon. Fitzgerald’s fiction has secured his reputation as one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century.
