Autor

F. Scott Fitzgerald, born as Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald on September 24, 1896, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is celebrated as one of the paramount American authors of the twentieth century, especially as a tome chronicler of the Jazz Age—a term he coined himself. A prismatic figure in the annals of American literature, Fitzgerald achieved fame almost instantaneously with the publication of his first novel, 'This Side of Paradise' (1920), which became an anthem for the young generation of the time. His literary prowess was further solidified by his magnum opus, 'The Great Gatsby' (1925), a piercing critique of the American Dream wrapped in a tale of love and betrayal. Though his lifetime includes an array of short stories and novels—like 'The Beautiful and Damned' and 'Tender is the Night'—Fitzgerald is also known for his stories about the glamor and despair of the period, collectively published in volumes such as 'The Roaring Twenties - Premium Collection.' His work is characterized by a profound exploration of ambition, youth, and a decadent society, coupled with an unrivaled eloquence and a meticulous depiction of the era's cultural panorama. Despite struggling with alcoholism and financial difficulties, Fitzgerald's legacy endures, his work serving as an essential exploration of the American psyche and spirit of the 1920s. He passed away at the age of 44 on December 21, 1940, leaving an indelible imprint on American literary tradition.
