Description

This collection includes stories written by Fitzgerald during his work on the novel “Tender Is the Night,” offering a realistic and entertaining portrait of the youth of the 1910s. As the basis for their plots, the author used events from his own youth. Basil Duke Lee (in which you can recognize the teenage Fitzgerald) is a young man full of energy and hopes, dreaming of entering Yale University, becoming rich, and becoming famous. Josephine Perry (her prototype was Ginevra King, the famous debutante from Chicago—Fitzgerald’s first love) is a bright and attractive girl from a wealthy family. Basil and Josephine long to conquer the world.
