Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was born into a well-to-do Catholic family living in St Paul, Minnesota. At Princeton University he decided to become a writer, leaving without graduating in 1917 to join the army when America entered the First World War. Believing he would be killed at the front, he hurriedly wrote his first novel, but was not sent to Europe. His first novel, \u003ci\u003eThis Side of Paradise \u003c\/i\u003e(1920) was published to great critical acclaim. He married Zelda Sayle a week after the publication and they embarked on an extravagant lifestyle in New York, which provided much material for \u003ci\u003eThe Beautiful and Damned \u003c\/i\u003e(1922). By this time their daughter, Scottie, had been born, Scott and Zelda had moved to Long Island, which was to be the setting of Fitzgerald's next novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e (1925). His fourth novel \u003ci\u003eTender is the Night, \u003c\/i\u003e was published in 1934.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 6.2 x 3.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47467811307741,"sku":"9781509826391","price":19.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/iJq1QJvxU39781509826391_117db42f-0e39-410e-881b-77fcea655ae6.webp?v=1771688090","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/tales-of-the-jazz-age-hardcover-7","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
