F. Scott Fitzgerald

This short story was first published in the "Smart Set" in 1921, although it had been written 5 years previous. It was first published in book form in Tales of the Jazz Age in 1922. "Written almost six years ago, this story is a product of undergraduate days at Princeton. Considerably revised, it was published in the "Smart Set" in 1921. At the time of its conception I had but one idea-to be a poet-and the fact that I was interested in the ring of every phrase, that I dreaded the obvious in prose if not in plot, shows throughout. Probably the peculiar affection I feel for it depends more upon its age than upon any intrinsic merit."

This somewhat unpleasant tale, published as a novelette in the "Smart Set" in July, 1920, relates a series of events which took place in the spring of the previous year. Each of the three events made a great impression upon me. In life they were unrelated, except by the general hysteria of that spring which inaugurated the Age of Jazz, but in my story I have tried, unsuccessfully I fear, to weave them into a pattern-a pattern which would give the effect of those months in New York as they appeared to at least one member of what was then the younger generation.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 -December 21, 1940) was an American Jazz Age author of novels andshort stories. He is regarded as one of the greatest twentieth centurywriters. 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 ofshort stories that treat themes of youth, despair, and age.

The novel provides a portrait of the Eastern elite during the Jazz Age, exploring New York Caf Society. As with his other novels, Fitzgerald's characters are complex, especially in their marriage and intimacy, much like how he treats intimacy in Tender Is the Night. The book is believed to be largely based on Fitzgerald's relationship and marriage with Zelda Fitzgerald.

Tales of the Jazz Age (1922) is a collection of eleven short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Divided into three separate parts, according to subject matter, it includes one of his better-known short stories, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". All of the stories had been published earlier, independently, in either Metropolitan Magazine (New York), Saturday Evening Post, Smart Set, Collier's, Chicago Sunday Tribune, or Vanity Fair. The collection that emerges from this disheartened capitulation and anxious apologising is uneven, which gives a snapshot of an author in transition, struggling to reach richer shores. Some stories already possess the gravity of the later work, in particular one that he had struggled to sell, "May Day", in which Fitzgerald's partygoing crowd encounter the violence of May Day 1919. Here we see the desperate as well as the decadent, the angry alongside the apathetic, in a panorama of "the general hysteria and confusion of values which follow war".

Written with extraordinary insight and delicate prose, El gran Gatsby gives us a glimpse into the complexity characterizing North American society at the beginning of the 20th Century. Sophisticated taste, extravagant lifestyles, destructive obsessions, and loneliness are all clearly portrayed through Gatsby and his obsessive quest for a woman out of his reach. This novel and Fitzgerald’s short story of a man who starts life in his seventies and gets younger with time are included in this book. DueÑo de una prosa delicada, con pasajes poÉticos de extrema belleza estÉtica, Scott Fitzgerald supo narrar como pocos las miserias de las clases acomodadas de la sociedad norteamericana de principios de siglo XX, en tiempos del jazz pero tambiÉn de la Primera Guerra Mundial. MezclÓ, en iguales dosis, la parafernalia afectada de los ricos con el buen gusto y las emociones mÁs profundas, sobre todo el amor, la pasiÓn y la melancolÍa. El gran Gatsby y El extraÑo caso de Benjamin Button, sus textos mÁs reconocidos, condensan lo mejor de este autor, un verdadero clÁsico de la literatura norteamericana, cuya obra exquisita pero contundente persiste a lo largo del tiempo.
