The Beautiful and the Damned

Omtale

Set in an era of intoxicating excitement and ruinous excess, changing manners and challenged morals, F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel chronicles the lives of Harvard-educated Anthony Patch and his beautiful, wilful wife, Gloria. By turns hilarious, heart-breaking and chillingly prophetic, it remains one of Fitzgerald's most acclaimed works, which Gertrude Stein correctly predicted will be read when many of his well-known contemporaries are forgotten.''
