This Side of Paradise and Other Classic Works
This Side of Paradise and Other Classic Works | F. Scott Fitzgerald
3 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
If the 'Roaring Twenties' are remembered as the era of 'flaming youth', it was F. Scott Fitzgerald who lit the fire. His semi-autobiographical first novel, This Side of Paradise, became an instant best-seller and established an image of seemingly carefree, party-mad young men and women out to create a new morality for a new, post-war America. It traces the early life of Amory Blaine from the end of prep school through Princeton to the start of an uncertain career in New York City. This volume has an exquisitely designed bonded-leather binding, with distinctive gilt edging and a silk-ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, this book offers hours of pleasure to readers young and old and is an indispensable cornerstone for any home library.

"It is not life that's complicated, it's the struggle to guide and control life."-F Scott Fitzgerald

My newest #WellLoved addition to my Fitzgerald collection. It's not quite as well loved as a few of my vintage #PenguinBooks... ?
