    'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' sees a baby born in 1860 begin life as an old man and then age backwards. F. Scott Fitzgerald hinted at this kind of inversion when he called his era 'a generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken'. Perhaps nowhere in American fiction has this 'Lost Generation' been more vividly preserved than in Fitzgerald's short fiction. Spanning the early twentieth-century American landscape, this collection captures, with Fitzgerald's signature blend of enchantment and disillusionment, America during the Jazz Age.

Mens deres venner begynder at tage livet alvorligt og gøre karriere, flyder det smukke par sorgløst af sted i forventningen om en kolossal arv fra Anthonys bedstefar. Men da denne lader vente på sig, begynder problemerne at melde sig – og mens festerne fortsætter, er de to unge godt på vej til at miste kontrollen over deres liv."De smukke og fortabte" er en grum, satirisk fortælling om mennesker, som har alle muligheder, men som ikke formår at tage ansvar for deres eget liv. En rystende og forbløffende aktuel roman om en generation, som ikke kan blive voksen.Den amerikanske forfatter F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) debuterede som kun 23-årig med romanen "På denne side af Paradis".

F. Scott Fitzgerald udgav et væld af noveller og fire romaner, hvoraf "Den store Gatsby" mere end nogen anden har skaffet ham en plads som en af USA’s største forfattere nogensinde.

    "e;The finest work of fiction by any American writer... No American novel comes closer than Gatsby to surpassing literary artistry, and none tells us more about ourselves"e;-- THE WASHINGTON POST"e;A curious book, a mystical, glamorous story that's both boisterous and tragic"e;-- THE NEW YORK TIMES"e;Fantastic proof that chivalry, of a sort, is not dead"e;-- LIFE MAGAZINEIt's the Roaring Twenties, and New York City is the place to be. Everything can be purchased, everyone can be bought. But, can you make money erase your past?It's the Roaring Twenties, and it is the time of over-indulgence. As far as the eyes can see and the mind can perceive, there are ostentatious displays of wealth and even more lavish displays of decadency. Unapologetic decadency. But, does it ever stop?It's the Roaring Twenties, and the great American Dream has been perverted. It no longer stands for anything profound that resonates with people. But, does the Idealism even attempt to stop the Materialism?As more and more people lose themselves to the lure of money, ironically the only person who remains unaffected is Jay Gatsby, the enigmatic host of the most extravagant parties...In this definitive tale on American culture, Fitzgerald pits a chaste dream against the corrupting influences of wealth and comes up with an epic story that can only be defined as 'A Great American novel'.About the Author : Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century, was born on September 24, 1896 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, to an upper middle class Irish Catholic family.A renowned American author of novels and short stories, Fitzgerald's first piece of writing-a detective story published in the school newspaper-appeared in print in 1909, at the age of thirteen.After graduating from the Newman School in 1913, Fitzgerald decided to stay in New Jersey to continue his artistic development at Princeton University. At Princeton, he firmly dedicated himself to honing his craft as a writer. He wrote for the Princeton Triangle Club, the Nassau Lit, and the Princeton Tiger.F.

    First published in 1934, Fitzgerald's classic story of psychological disintegration was denounced by many as an unflattering portrayal of Sara and Gerald Murphy (in the guise of characters Dick and Nicole Driver), who had been generous hosts to many expatriates. Only after Fitzgerald's death was Tender Is the Night recognized as a powerful and moving depiction of the human frailties that affect privileged and ordinary people alike.

    Den store Gatsby af F. Scott Fitzgerald regnes for en klassiker i amerikansk litteratur. Gennem karakteren Nick Carraway får vi et indblik i jazztidens USA, hvor rigdom og den ekstravagante livsstil bliver udstillet. Nick bliver tilfældigvis nabo til Jay Gatsby, en yderst rig mand, der hver uge afholder enorme fester for kendte mennesker i sit palæ, og således udadtil ser ud til at udleve den amerikanske drøm. Men tilsyneladende er der ingen, som rigtig kender denne Gatsby. Det viser sig, at Gatsby blev forelsket før han rejste til Europa for at kæmpe i 1. Verdenskrig, men da han omsider vender hjem har hans udkårne giftet sig med en anden, meget velhavende mand. Han vier derfor sit liv til at opnå tilstrækkelig rigdom til, at han kan vinde sin elskede tilbage – og han benytter alle midler. Men da hun omsider igen kommer ind i hans liv, bliver det meget kortvarigt og yderst dramatisk.F. Scott Fitzgerald portrætterer i Den store Gatsby jazztidens USA, og den amerikanske drøm, hvor jagten på rigdom og overflod for en periode overskygger alt andet. Den store Gatsby fremstår som et klassisk værk i amerikansk litteratur.God fornøjelse.

    With an Introduction and Notes by Henry Claridge, Senior Lecturer, School of English, University of Kent at Canterbury.Tender is the Night is a story set in the hedonistic high society of Europe during the 'Roaring Twenties'. A wealthy schizophrenic, Nicole Warren, falls in love with Dick Diver - her psychiatrist. The resulting saga of the Divers' troubled marriage, and their circle of friends, includes a cast of aristocratic and beautiful people, unhappy love affairs, a duel, incest, and the problems inherent in the possession of great wealth. Despite cataloguing a maelstrom of interpersonal conflict, Tender is the Night has a poignancy and warmth that springs from the quality of Fitzgerald's writing and the tragic personal experiences on which the novel is based.Six years separate Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon, the novel Fitzgerald left unfinished at his death in December 1940. Fitzgerald lived in Hollywood more or less continuously from July 1937 until his death, and a novel about the film industry at the height of 'the studio system' centred on the working life of a top producer was begun in 1939. Even in its incomplete state The Last Tycoon remains the greatest American novel about Hollywood and contains some of Fitzgerald's most brilliant writing.

    Fitzgerald's first novel, This Side of Paradise (1920) was an immediate, spectacular success and established his literary reputation. Perhaps the definitive novel of that "Lost Generation," it tells the story of Amory Blaine, a handsome, wealthy Princeton student who halfheartedly involves himself in literary cults, "liberal" student activities, and a series of empty flirtations with young women. When he finally does fall truly in love, however, the young woman rejects him for another. After serving in France during the war, Blaine returns to embark on a career in advertising. Still young, but already cynical and world-weary, he exemplifies the young men and women of the '20s, described by Fitzgerald as "a generation grown up to find all gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken."

    Knusende kærlighedAmory Blaine er begavet, privilegeret og overbevist om, at han er født til noget højere. Han studerer på Princeton, og efter nogle flygtige kærlighedsforhold møder han Rosalind, hans livs store kærlighed. Da hun forlader ham for en anden, knuses Amorys ungdommelige idealer. Det eneste, der står tilbage, er alkoholen – men trods al hans sorg og skuffelse også en erkendelse af, at livet, hvor patetisk og latterligt det end kan virke, er værd at leve – ikke på den anden, men på denne side af Paradis.Anmelderne mente“Fortællingen er en lille skive skåret af det virkelige liv. Den lø­ber over med ung­dom, jazz, føl­­elser, romantik og viril ame­ri­­kansk humor.”– Harvard Crimson“… den bærer aftrykket af et geni, synes jeg. Det er det eneste retvisende studie vi har af vor tids amerikanske ung- og manddom … en sardonisk og dog herlig og fascine­rende bog.”– Chicago Daily Tribune“Nærmest så perfekt, som sådan et værk kan være.”– New York Times”Der er noget intelligent, noget interes­seret og søgende, noget under­hold­ende ung­dommeligt og misforstået, noget smukt og kønt og noget virkelig inspireret og sub­­­limt, og en overraskende overflod af det hele i På denne side af Paradis.”– The New York Evening Post“Man kan kun ønske sig mere stort fra Mr. Fitzgerald.”– The Philadelphia Public Ledger(1896-1940) debuterede som kun 23-årig med På denne side af Paradis, som han skrev for at få sin elskede Zelda tilbage. Med denne roman etablerede Fitzgerald sig i 1920 som sin tids stemme. På kort tid blev han forfatter med popstjernestatus, romanen dannede kult, og Amory Blaine blev identifikationsfigur for generationen i den amerikanske efterkrigs­tid. Med ungdommelig sprudlen, en overflod af fortællertrang og en rytme og klang, der er umiskendelig for Fitzgerald beretter han her om Amorys liv – ironisk og varmblodigt, glitrende og vemodigt. Og året efter udgivelsen giftede Zelda sig med ham. Dette er første gang, Fitzgeralds debut er oversat til dansk.Andre romaner på danskDe smukke og fortabteDen store GatsbyBlid er nattenDen sidste Mogul

    Short, witty and exciting collection of short stories, “Tales of the Jazz Age” is by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, the author of 'The Great Gatsby'. Divided into three parts, the tales are grouped into serious stories, non-sensical narratives, and fantasies. Among the most famous stories are the greedy and sinister 'The Diamond as Big as the Ritz', the utterly amusing and ridiculous 'The Camel’s Back', and the intriguing 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', which has since been adapted into an award-winning film starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. It is a great read for anyone having an interest in the Jazz Age, 1920's stories or Fitzgerald’s fiction; and perfect for those who need something short and snappy to read on the go. F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) is one of the greatest American novelists of the 20th century and author of the classics ‘Tender is the Night’, ‘The Great Gatsby’ and 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', all of which have been adapted in to successful film adaptations. His writing helped popularise the 1920s Jazz Age that he and wife Zelda Fitzgerald were in the centre of.
