Description

This Side of Paradise is the debut novel by American writer F.

Scott Fitzgerald, published in 1920. It examines the lives and morality of carefree American youth at the dawn of the Jazz Age.

The novel chronicles the life of Amory Blaine from his childhood up through his early twenties.

Born in welath, Amory becomes a student at Princeton, dabbling in literature and romance, eventually turning disillusioned by the greed and social climbing in post-World War I America. Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was an American writer of novels and short stories, whose works have been seen as evocative of the Jazz Age, a term he himself allegedly coined.

He is regarded as one of the greatest twentieth century writers.

Fitzgerald was of the self-styled ""Lost Generation,"" Americans born in the 1890s who came of age during World War I.

He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth, despair, and age.
