About the Author
F. Scott Fitzgerald, born in 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota, remains one of the most celebrated voices of the Jazz Age, capturing the glamour and disillusionment of post-World War I America in his evocative prose. A Princeton University dropout who served in the army during the war, Fitzgerald rose to fame with his debut novel This Side of Paradise in 1920, which launched him into literary stardom alongside his wife Zelda's whirlwind social life. His works often explore themes of ambition, love, and the fleeting nature of wealth, reflecting his own experiences with success and personal struggles, including alcoholism and financial woes. Despite dying at 44 in 1940, Fitzgerald's legacy endures through timeless tales like Tender Is the Night, a poignant novel of a psychiatrist's unraveling marriage on the French Riviera, and his contributions to anthologies such as 50 Obras Maestras que debes leer antes de morir: Vol.2, showcasing his influence across cultures.
