Autorenporträt
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) remains an iconic figure of the American literary scene, renowned for his portrayal of the Jazz Age and its hedonistic allure. Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Fitzgerald attended Princeton University, though he never graduated, instead enlisting in the U.S. Army during World War I. By 1920, Fitzgerald had published his first novel, 'This Side of Paradise,' which became an instant success, granting him celebrity status and financial prosperity. He capitalized on the spirit of the times in his most famous novel, 'The Great Gatsby' (1925), epitomizing the era's dreams and disillusionments. His other significant works include 'Tender Is the Night' (1934) and the unfinished 'The Last Tycoon' (1941), published posthumously. Fitzgerald's writing is characterized by its lyrical prose, exploration of themes like decadence, idealism, and social upheaval, as well as his acute social insight into American life. The 'Collected Letters of F. Scott Fitzgerald' offers a glimpse into his rich inner world and the personal struggles that shadowed his professional life, including financial difficulties and the mental decline of his wife, Zelda. By the time of his premature death at the age of 44, Fitzgerald was largely forgotten and his work received little recognition. However, subsequent critical reassessment has cemented his place as one of the great literary artists of the twentieth century.
