Amory Blaine, a young Midwesterner, is convinced that he has an exceptionally promising future. The reader follows Amory as he falls in love with Isabelle Borgé, a wealthy young debutante; a cruel and narcissistic flapper named Rosalind Connage; and Eleanor, a reckless eighteen-year-old atheist. An autobiographical novel and a portrait of the dawning Jazz Age, This Side of Paradise launched F. Scott Fitzgerald’s career and turned him into an overnight literary sensation.
Twenty-five-year-old Anthony Patch appears to have it all: a Harvard education, an apartment in New York City, memberships at all of the best clubs, and a generous trust fund to draw from. Sure, his grandfather is not happy with Anthony’s lack of initiative and feckless lifestyle, but can Anthony be blamed knowing that, as an orphan, he is destined to be the sole heir to his grandfather’s immense fortune? When Anthony is introduced by friends to the beautiful Gloria Gilbert, whose hedonism rivals his own, he is so smitten that he proposes marriage. Gloria accepts—and so begins the downward spiral of their lives. While their friends prosper, Anthony and Gloria live recklessly, outspending their assets and squandering their good fortune. Will they find the fortitude to change course and recover from the humiliating depths into which they've descended?
""The Road to Wigan Pier"" by George Orwell is not your typical travelogue. Imagine a journey where the biggest sights are coal mines and the main attraction is the stark reality of working-class life in 1930s England. Orwell, who's more famous for giving us a dystopian future, now brings us a vivid portrayal of a dystopian present (or past, depending on when you're reading this ). Buckle up for a trip through the grim streets of northern England, where the food is bland, the coal dust is plentiful, and the only 'Instagrammable' moments involve poverty and social injustice. It's a unique expedition where Orwell's sharp wit and keen observations turn a grim topic into a compelling read. Forget luxury cruises and beach resorts; this is one 'road trip' that will change the way you see the world - no fancy luggage required
*With a new introduction by bestselling and iconic novelist Haruki Murakami* This edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald's final unfinished novel is now restored to the original 1941 text, with updates by Fitzgerald scholar James L. W. West III. When F. Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940, he left behind an unfinished draft of this poignant novel, inspired by his own experience working in Hollywood as a screenwriter. Literary critic Edmund Wilson edited Fitzgerald's notes and material to publish this text of The Last Tycoon in 1941. Now, this edition restores Wilson's editorial work and includes an introduction from celebrated author Haruki Murakami. Set in Hollywood in the 1930s, The Last Tycoon tells the tragic story of a young film producer named Monroe Stahr. Exploring themes of ambition, power, and corruption, The Last Tycoon depicts Stahr's struggle to balance his personal life and professional goals with the challenges of running a successful movie studio. Based on the career of real-life producer Irving Thalberg, the head of MGM who was known as Hollywood's "boy wonder", The Last Tycoon is a sharply observed and bittersweet expos of the glittering excess of the Hollywood film industry in its prime.
An all-new faithful and beautifully illustrated graphic novel adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, The Great Gatsby.

'Flappers and Philosophers' was the first collection of short stories, published in 1920 by the Irish American Jazz Age novelist and short story writer regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. He was the self-styled spokesman of the 'Lost Generation' and author of 'The Great Gatsby'. His debut novel, 'This Side of Paradise' examines the lives and morality of post-World War I youth. The collection includes his most famous stories: The Offshore Pirate, The Ice Palace, Head and Shoulders, The Cut-Glass Bowl, Bernice Bobs Her Hair, Benediction, Dalyrimple Goes Wrong, and The Four Fists. "We both fitted. If our corners were not rubbed off they were at least pulled in. But deep in us both was something that made us require more for happiness. I didn't know what I wanted." -F. Scott Fitzgerald, Flappers and Philosophers
