Published soon after Fitzgeralds debut novel This Side of Paradise, Flappers and Philosophers was the authors first collection of short fiction, a form through which he had gained notoriety in newspapers and magazines. The familiar themes of aspiration and social satire already permeate his writing: in Bernice Bobs Her Hair the fashionable Marjorie attempts to turn her dowdy cousin into a debutante, before betraying her out of jealousy, while The Ice Palace features a Southern belle whose engagement to a Northerner finds her confronted with a cultural clash between tradition and modernity.Also containing The Offshore Pirate, Head and Shoulders, The Cut-Glass Bowl, Benediction, Dalyrimple Goes Wrong and The Four Fists, this volume of stories illustrates the early stages of Fitzgeralds development as a writer and provides an entertaining chronicle of America in the 1910s.________''He was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a generation.''

Basil and Josephine charts the coming of age of two privileged youths from quiet Midwestern towns, Basil Duke Lee and Josephine Perry based on Fitzgerald himself and a combination of his first love Ginevra King and his wife Zelda. As one struggles to gain the acceptance of his peers and becomes consumed by ambition, the other finds herself obsessed by teenage crushes and has to confront the pitfalls of popularity.Written for the Saturday Evening Post while the author was working on Tender Is the Night, these stories form a realistic and entertaining portrait of two young adults in the 1910s, fascinating both for the autobiographical insights they provide and the timeless satire that Fitzgeralds fiction has become synonymous with.________''He was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a generation.''

In F. Scott Fitzgeralds early play, "Presumption," the author deftly intertwines themes of ambition, societal expectations, and the moral complexities of love and relationships. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the play highlights Fitzgeralds characteristic blend of sharp dialogue and lush prose. Through the lens of a budding romance marred by misguided aspirations and social stratification, Fitzgerald explores the tension between dreams and reality, a recurring motif in his later works. The play, though not as widely recognized as Fitzgeralds iconic novels, showcases his emerging style and the profound literary influences of the Jazz Age, capturing a moment of cultural transition with profound insight. Fitzgerald, renowned for his evocative portrayal of the American Dream, penned "Presumption" during a formative period in his career. His experiences navigating the complexities of social status and personal ambition undoubtedly influenced the narrative. The play reflects his own struggles as a writer in an era punctuated by both excess and disillusionment, foreshadowing the themes he would later master in "The Great Gatsby" and other works. "Presumption" is a fascinating exploration of ambition and authenticity, making it a valuable addition to Fitzgeralds oeuvre.

Tra tutte le opere di Fitzgerald, questa e probabilmente la piu ambiziosa, sofferta e tormentata. Gli ci vollero infatti nove anni per completare questo romanzo, del quale non fu completamente soddisfatto nemmeno dopo la sua pubblicazione e continuo a riprenderlo e modificarlo fino a lasciare sei versioni complessive dellopera, delle quali tre pubblicate e le restanti inedite. Come spesso succede nei suoi lavori, anche Tenera e la notte e ricco di elementi autobiografici a cominciare dallattivita di Dick Diver, il protagonista, che lascia lattivita di psicologo dopo aver sposato una sua ricca paziente per vivere di rendita della sua fortuna. Ambientato tra la Costa Azzurra e la Parigi degli anni Venti, dove Fitzgerald e molti altri scrittori americani si erano trasferiti per scrivere e vivere le atmosfere inimitabili della Francia, i personaggi del libro finiranno per disintegrarsi in una sorta di catena autodistruttiva che puo essere considerata attualissima anche ai giorni nostri. I temi trattati, dal fascino del denaro al vizio dello spreco alla vacuita della felicita, si addicono perfettamente alla nostra epoca consumistica, rendendo queste pagine suggestive e ricche di un fascino che e ora luminoso e ora spettrale. Con la prosa tipica di un maestro della letteratura americana, un romanzo da riscoprire e gustare come un bicchiere di prosecco per introdurre una cena ricercata. Allinterno - come in tutti i volumi Fermento - gli "Indicatori" per consentire al lettore un agevole viaggio dentro il libro.
