F. Scott Fitzgerald: All the Sad Young Men, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

F. Scott Fitzgerald's third collection of short stories, capturing the disillusionment beneath the glamour of the Jazz Age. First published in 1926, All the Sad Young Men gathers stories written during a pivotal period in Fitzgerald's career, when the exuberance of the early 1920s had given way to a more reflective and sobering vision. The collection includes some of his most accomplished shorter works, among them "Winter Dreams" and "The Rich Boy," narratives that probe ambition, wealth, romantic illusion, and the quiet erosion of youthful certainty. Though set amid the social brightness of the American upper class, these stories are marked by restraint and moral clarity. Fitzgerald turns from spectacle toward introspection, examining the cost of aspiration and the fragile distance between hope and disappointment. As a companion to The Great Gatsby, this volume reveals the author refining the themes that would define his enduring contribution to American literature.
