Tender is the Night (Broché)

Biographie de Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Francis Scott Fitzgerald, whose works and gilded but troubled life would become synonymous with the Jazz Age, was born in 1896 in Minnesota. He married Zelda Sayre following the success of his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920. The couple travelled in Europe in the twenties, where Fitzgerald befriended Ernest Hemingway. Although beset by alcoholism and financial and marital difficulties, he wrote his greatest works in this period, including The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night.
He was working on The Last Tycoon when he died, in Hollywood, in 1940.
