From
Collins Classics and the author of ‘The Great Gatsby’ comes this razor-sharp
satire on the excesses of the Jazz Age. From the author of The Great Gatsby,
a tale of marriage and disappointment in the Roaring Twenties. Fitzgerald’s
rich and detailed novel of the decadent Jazz Era follows the beautiful and
vibrant Anthony Patch and his wife Gloria as they navigate the heady
lifestyle of the young and wealthy in 192s New York. Patch is the presumptive
heir to his grandfather’s fortune, and keeps his equally spoiled wife in
comfort while biding time until his grandfather’s death. Patch is unable to
hold down any kind of job and spends his days in luxury, indulging in
whatever pleasures are available. But as the money begins to fail, so does
their marriage. Patch’s gradual descent into alcoholism, depression and
alienation from his marriage ultimately lead to his ruin. Fitzgerald’s novel
is a remorseless exploration of the horrors of an age of excess and lost
innocence. F. Scott Fitzgerald is regarded as one of the greatest American
writers of the 2th century. Despite his present popularity, Fitzgerald was
often in financial trouble, due to the fact that only one of his novels sold
well enough to support the extravagant lifestyle that he and his wife Zelda
adopted, and later Zelda’s medical bills. His novel The Great Gatsby has sold
millions of copies and remains a continual best-seller.
