Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896–1940) was an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the
paradigmatic writings of the Jazz Age, a term he coined.
Includes short stories collections: All the Sad Young Men; Taps at Reveille; and the short story The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and fifty-five (55) other short stories.
Today, F. Scott Fitzgerald is known for his novels, but in his lifetime, his fame stemmed from his prolific achievement as one of America's most gifted (and best-paid) writers of stories and novellas.
This masterpieces range from early stories that capture the fashion of the times to later ones written after the author's fabled crack-up, which are sober reflections on his own youthful excesses. Included are classic novellas, such as "The Rich Boy," "The Strange Case of Benjamin Button".
Together, these forty-three stories compose a vivid picture of a lost era, but their brilliance is timeless. As Malcolm Cowley once wrote, "Fitzgerald remains an exemplar and archetype, but not of the 1920s alone; in the end he represents the human spirit in one of its permanent forms." This essential collection is ample testament to that statement, and a monument to the genius of one of the great voices in the history of American literature. [mehr][weniger] Stichwörter: F.
