Om denne bog

Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. Featuring an afterword by Ned Halley. A gripping account of the complexities of marriage, largely based on Fitzgerald''s relationship with his wife, Zelda.

The Beautiful and Damned, F. Scott Fitzgerald''s second novel, tells the story of Anthony Patch, a 1920s socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon''s fortune. Anthony and his wife Gloria are young and gorgeous, rich and leisured, and dedicate their lives to the reckless pursuit of happiness. But this intimate story turns tragic, as their marriage disintegrates under the weight of their expectations, dissipation, jealousy and aimlessness.

Fitzgerald skilfully portrays the east-coast elite as the Jazz Age begins its ascent, engulfing all classes into what will soon be known as Cafe Society. As with all of Fitzgerald''s novels, it is a brilliant character study written in breathtaking prose.
