• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"On the whole, Flappers and Philosophers represents the triumph of form over matter... there is no telling what good fortune awaits this volume of excellent short stories-a form more to the liking of the American people than the novel." -The New York Times (1920) Flappers and Philosophers (1920) is a collection of short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald that is the prelude to the themes evident in his novels. The stories feature his iconic characters, strong-willed women and disconsolate men, characteristic of The Lost Generation. The stories included in this edition: "Benediction," "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," "The Cut-Glass Bowl," "Dalyrimple Goes Wrong," "Head and Shoulders," "The Four Fists," "The Ice Palace," and "The Offshore Pirate" all resonate with the colorful prose that made Fitzgerald famous. Popular at the time and a classic today, fans of The Great Gatsby (1925) and Fitzgerald will thoroughly enjoy reading these well-crafted stories.
