Zusammenfassung
F. Scott Fitzgerald's debut novel, This Side of Paradise, is a semi-autobiographical portrait of the disillusioned Lost Generation of America's Jazz Age. Amory Blaine holds a mirror to F. Scott Fitzgerald s own youth as he attends prep school before studying at Princeton University. The semi-autobiographical novel continues as Amory returns home for Christmas break and falls in love with a beautiful debutante, Isabelle Borge. After serving with the US Army in the First World War, the aspirational young man continues to embark on a series of romantic flings with numerous flapper girls as he struggles to find a purpose for his crumbling life.In this debut novel, Fitzgerald masterfully illustrates the disoriented youth of the post-war generation and highlights the self-destructive effects of chasing wealth and enlightenment. This Side of Paradise was first published in 1920 and is now in a new edition featuring an introductory author biography alongside an essay on Jazz Age literature. Not to be missed by collectors of Fitzgerald s work and those interested in the Lost Generation writers.
