Description
The refined, thrilling novel of love and intrigue from the golden age of Hollywood is Fitzgerald's The Last Captain. The story of great ambitions and a love passion born of strange coincidence rises to dramatic heights and then plunges into dark depths. Hope and despair change the angle of narration in surprising moments and sharpen the contrasts between the characters. The personality of the young, charismatic, and exceptionally capable film producer, who senses an impending tragedy but can hide his fears, perhaps resists the author's initial intentions in the most impressive moments. The heroes of the novel succumb to uncertainty and confusion in such moments – and then passionately linger in them to their own detriment. The novel, whose characters many claim are among the most vibrant and attractive in world literature, is published in a new translation that caters to the mysterious and profound beauty of Fitzgerald's language.
