Synopsis "This Side of Paradise"

I'm not sentimental--I'm as romantic as you are. The idea, you know, is that the sentimental person thinks things will last--the romantic person has a desperate confidence that they won't. From one of the finest American writers of the 20th century, This Side of Paradise was rumored to have helped F. Scott Fitzgerald gain Zelda's hand in marriage. Amory Blaine is an ambitious, aspiring young writer, haunted by intellectual curiosity, doomed relationships, adolescence, and the danger of seeking status in the early-20th century. This is vintage Fitzgerald, a perfect example of his ability to capture a particular period of American history. With this modern edition, you can dive into the back catalog of a writer synonymous with both the flamboyant Jazz Age and the lost generation of 1920s America.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (Saint Paul, Minnesota, September 24, 1896-Hollywood, California, December 21, 1940) was a military officer, host, novelist, and American writer, widely known as one of the finest authors of the 20th century, whose works are paradigmatic of the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the Lost Generation of the twenties.

He wrote five novels: The Great Gatsby, Tender Is the Night, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, and The Last Tycoon, which, although unfinished, was published after his death. He also wrote numerous short stories, many of which deal with youth and promise, age and despair.
