Über das Buch

Written between 1920 and 1937, when F. Scott Fitzgerald was at the height of his creative powers, these ten lyric tales represent some of the author's finest fiction. In them, Fitzgerald creates vivid, timeless characters -- a dissatisfied southern belle seeking adventure in the north; the tragic hero of the title story who lost more than money in the stock market; giddy and dissipated young men and women of the interwar period. From the lazy town of Tarleton, Georgia, to the glittering cosmopolitan centers of New York and Paris, Fitzgerald brings the society of the "Lost Generation" to life in these masterfully crafted gems, showcasing the many gifts of one of our most popular writers.

    My first Fitzgerald - and definitively not my last! The two longer short stories ;) - Babylon Revisited and The Cut-Glass Bowl - were, well, remarkable! I can't think of a better word. I think I'll remember them for quite a time as they were both (though completely different) touching, sad and somehow strange but still they felt so real. They seemed to be typically 1920s-y and at the same time could just have happened to my neighbors yesterday. Only the last very short story - The Lost Decade - was a little too strange for my taste and that's the only reason why I rate with one star missing.
