Main description

"We know the old adage about judging books by their covers, but how could you not when the covers are as lovely as these?" -Vogue (U.K.) The jacket design by Coralie Bickford-Smith reflects the elegance and glamour of the Art Deco period paired with the modern aesthetic of mechanical repetition. Each jacket comes with a detachable bookmark. Stories of "the lost generation," these Jazz Age tales vividly preserve Fitzgerald's signature blend of enchantment and disillusionment. Including, "Benjamin Button," "Head and Shoulders," "The Cut-Glass Bowl," "The Four Fists," "May Day," "O Russet Witch!'," and others, this gorgeous volume gathers all of Fitzgerald's most popular stories.

Biographical note

F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St Paul, Minnesota in 1896. He studied at Princeton University before joining the army in 1917. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic relationship and subsequent breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the D.mned, Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work); six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. F. Scott Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.
