Scott Fitzgerald was one of the major American writers of the twentieth century -- a figure whose life and works embodied powerful myths about our national dreams and aspirations. Fitzgerald was talented and perceptive, gifted with a lyrical style and a pitch-perfect ear for language. He lived his life as a romantic, equally capable of great dedication to his craft and reckless squandering of his artistic capital. He left us one sure masterpiece, The Great Gatsby; a near-masterpiece, Tender Is the Night; and a gathering of stories and essays that together capture the essence of the American experience. His writings are insightful and stylistically brilliant; today he is admired both as a social chronicler and a remarkably gifted artist. In the proposed collection, the best novellas by the well-known American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896—1940) from such author’s collections as “Flappers and Philosophers”, “Tales of the Jazz Age”, “All the Sad Young Men” and “Taps at Reveille” are presented. The fate of the heroes of these works turns out in different ways. But describing the life of each of them the author asserts that: whatever the epoch a man lives in, the moral values remain invariable — domestic warmth, charity, sincerity, the ability of prizing everything one owns always promise every prospect of happiness. Whereas, false pride, arrogance, impertinence doom us to fruitless search for happy fate. Держатели документа: Миколаївська обласна універсальна наукова бібліотека ім. О. Гмирьова
