The story tells of John T. Unger, a teenager from the town of Hades, Mississippi, who was sent to a private boarding school in Boston. During the summer he would visit the homes of his classmates, the vast majority of whom were from wealthy families. In the middle of his sophomore year, a young man named Percy Washington was placed in Unger's form. He would speak only to Unger, and then very rarely, but invited him for the summer to his home, the location of which he would only state as being "in the West", an invitation Unger accepted. During the train ride Percy boasted that his father was "by far the richest man in the world", and when challenged by Unger boasted that his father "has a diamond bigger than the Ritz-Carlton Hotel."
Jim is a jelly-bean: an idler in some nice little town in Georgia. He makes a severe mistake: He falls in love. This story is in some ways a predecessor to Fitzgerald's later work "The Great Gatsby".

Sara, the American wife of a French aristocrat, has had two encounters with her compatriot Cedric Killian, one a youthful idyll in North Carolina and the other during the First World War, when he was a soldier about to go to battle. When, years later and after the death of her husband, Cedric contacts her out of the blue, Sara finds herself eager to see him again – against the wishes of her in-laws – and to find out the secret of this man she loves yet knows so little about. A poignant tale of thwarted love, ‘The Intimate Strangers’ explores many of Fitzgerald’s favourite themes, such as the constraints of society on romance and the American fascination for Old Europe. This volume also includes other lesser-known stories he wrote from the mid-1930s until the end of his life, revealing new facets to the author of The Great Gatsby and Tender Is the Night.

When Tudy’s first husband tragically dies, she takes up the offer of Tom, a family friend, to pay for her to go to study in France.

But as the wedding approaches, Tom discovers that his fiancée has become involved with Riccard, a dashing French pilot and his near-double. A tale of broken trust and infidelity based on Zelda Fitzgerald’s own dalliance with a French pilot, ‘Image on the Heart’ is here presented with other lesser-known stories written by Fitzgerald in the late 1920s and early 1930s, which develop many of the themes found in his novels and his more famous works of short fiction.

A young Harvard graduate with bright prospects, Bill Frothington is invited on board a steamer hosting a high-school dance, where he meets and falls in love with the seventeen-year-old Mae. As the match is not considered socially advantageous enough, Bill moves on, marries and has a career, but he remains painfully nostalgic for that episode on the river. A poignant tale which touches on the themes of yearning and lost youth that are central to many of Fitzgerald’s novels and stories, ‘The Love Boat’ is here presented with other lesser-known pieces which he wrote in the 1920s and explore the many facets of his creative talents.
This Side of Paradise is the debut novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Published in 1920, and taking its title from a line of the Rupert Brooke poem Tiare Tahiti, the book examines the lives and morality of post-World War I youth. Its protagonist, Amory Blaine, is an attractive Princeton University student who dabbles in literature. The novel explores the theme of love warped by greed and status-seeking. In the summer of 1919, after several years of courtship, Zelda Sayre broke up with the 22-year-old Fitzgerald. After a summer of heavy alcohol use, he returned to St. Paul, Minnesota where his family lived, to complete the novel, hoping that if he became a successful novelist he could win Zelda back. While at Princeton, Fitzgerald had written an unpublished novel called The Romantic Egotist and ultimately 80 pages of the typescript of this earlier work ended up in This Side of Paradise. This book is written in three parts. Book One: The Romantic Egotist; Interlude; Book Two: The Education of a Personage.
F. Scott Fitzgerald - forfatteren til Den store Gatsby - er en af mellemkrigstidens markante romanforfattere, men ogs en af det 20. rhundredes store amerikanske novellister, der bedre end nogen andre fanger jazztidens hidsige puls med de pludselige omslag og dramaet under overfladen. Denne bog pr senterer 11 af hans bedste noveller - udvalgt, oversat og med forord af Hans Hertel. Det er fort llinger fra de br lende 20'ere med hektisk livsudfoldelse, smukke sydstatspiger og rastl se sj le p jagt efter succes og evig ungdom. Og det er beretninger fra 30'ernes krise r, t mmerm ndenes tid, da vemoden og rodl sheden blev til tragedie og eftert nksom smerte. Novellen "Det s re tilf lde Benjamin Button", som fik en ren ssance med David Finchers storfilm fra 2008, foreligger her for f rste gang p dansk. Udvalget pr senterer ogs den posthume kortnovelle "Tak for ilden", der blev trykt - for f rste gang - i The New Yorker i 2012. -
