The Beautiful And Damned

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Beautiful and Damned” stands as a poignant exploration of the American Jazz Age, capturing the excesses and disillusionment of the Roaring Twenties. Published in 1922, the novel follows the lives of Anthony Patch and his wife Gloria Gilbert, a couple caught in the intoxicating whirlwind of wealth, decadence, and societal expectations. As they navigate the glittering social circles of New York, Fitzgerald delves into the corrosive effects of hedonism and the elusive pursuit of happiness. The characters grapple with the consequences of their own desires and the ephemeral nature of beauty, as the novel skillfully critiques the shallow values and moral ambiguity prevalent in the post-World War I era. --- Product Features --- Weight: 0.24, kg Written_By: F., Scott, Fitzgerald Publisher: Fingerprint, Pub Book Type: Fiction Categories: Classic, Fiction|Contemporary, Fiction Best For: Fans, of, the, Jazz, Age, and, Roaring, Twenties Ages: 14+ Language: English Binding: Paperback Edition: Latest, edition, (1, July, 2016) Isbn: 978-8175993914 Pages: 368 Printing Remarks: Imported Dimension: 20.3, x, 25.4, x, 4.7, cm Total Pages: 368
