Autorenporträt

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was a preeminent figure in American literature, celebrated for his keen insight into the psyche of his generation and his eloquent portrayal of the Jazz Age—a term he is credited with coining. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Fitzgerald rose to prominence with the publication of his first novel, 'This Side of Paradise' (1920), which became an instant classic among the young readers of his time. His subsequent novels, including 'The Great Gatsby' (1925), 'Tender is the Night' (1934), and 'The Last Tycoon' (published posthumously in 1941), painted vivid pictures of the wealth, excess, and disillusionment that marked the Roaring Twenties.
