A brief look at the life of F Scott Fitzgerald lived struggling against fame and relevance while he turned out some of the most cherished novels of all time The loves and betrayals fueled by a life of alcoholic induced over indulgence build the tragic views of life that Fitzgerald shared with his readers and ultimately cut his life short at 44 Charles River Editors The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books of all time but how much of the forest is lost for the trees In Charles River Editors American Legends series readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of America s most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known The 1920s in the United States were known as the Roaring Twenties and the Jazz Age a time in the nation that glorified hard and fast living Nobody personified the age or wrote so descriptively about it better than F Scott Fitzgerald 1896 1940 whose name became synonymous with the times after penning the epic Great Gatsby Along with his dazzling wife Zelda Fitzgerald was all too keen to play the role When his writing made them celebrities they were celebrated by the national press for being young seemingly wealthy beautiful and energetic While Scott used their relationship as material in his novels Zelda wrote herself and she also strove to become a ballerina However the Fitzgeralds barely outlasted the 20s Their hard living left Fitzgerald a notorious alcoholic in poor health by the 30s Financially broke he would die of a massive heart attack in 1940 by which time Zelda had already suffered various mental illnesses Zelda died in a freak fire in 1948 both Fitzgeralds having burned out almost as quickly as they had shined Interest in the Fitzgeralds and particularly F Scott Fitzgerald s writing revived in the 50s and has been steady ever since with Fitzgerald s Great Gatsby and other stories like This Side of Paradise being read in classrooms across the United States In addition to their extraordinary literary quality they continue to represent the optimism of the Roaring Twenties American The Life of F Scott Fitzgerald profiles the life and career of one of America s most famous writers and cultural icons Along with pictures of important people places and events you will learn about F Scott Fitzgerald like you never have before in no time at all American Legends The Life of F Scott FitzgeraldCharles River Editors is an independent publisher of thousands of ebooks on Kindle Nook Kobo and Apple iBookstore provider of original content for third parties..
