Description
On the brink of paradise, a perfectly constructed novel - a cry erupted from the heart of twenty-three-year-old F. S. Fitzgerald - catapulted the author to literary fame and determined his future: When commercial success appeared on the horizon, his beloved Zelda decided not to break off their engagement. They will marry eight days after the book's release. The autobiographical novel depicts the intellectual, spiritual, and erotic maturation of an overly romantic young hero in the glittering golden age of jazz in the 1920s. At the same time, it presents a timeless story of energetic, searching youth and its distrust of the rest of the world. The irresistible narrative oscillating between tenderness and cynicism clings to the inexhaustible, albeit so often betrayed youthful faith in the future, in the favor of time and fate - all with an intensity that ranks Fitzgerald among the greatest world writers.
