Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The Beautiful and Damned, part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, offers quality editions at affordable prices, featuring new scholarship, thoughtful design, and extras. Notable features include new introductions from contemporary writers and scholars, author biographies, chronologies of historical events, footnotes and endnotes, discussions of related works, comments by famous authors, study questions, bibliographies, and indices. Each edition is beautifully designed and printed to superior specifications, some including historical illustrations. This series enriches readers' understanding of enduring works through a blend of biographical, historical, and literary influences. In 1921, F. Scott Fitzgerald, then twenty-five and celebrated as a promising writer, built on his success with a cautionary tale of ambition and squandered talent set in Jazz Age New York. The novel follows Anthony Patch, an aspiring writer, and his beautiful wife, Gloria, as they await an inheritance from Anthony’s grandfather. They indulge in a life of parties and extravagance, but the story quickly shifts to a scathing portrayal of their deteriorating marriage and a hedonistic society where beauty is fleeting. This fierce parable explores the illusory nature of dreams, the harshness of reality, and the destructive passage of time, foreshadowing the decline that would later affect Fitzgerald and Zelda.
