This book portrays a young generation disillusioned with war, known as the Lost Generation. Fitzgerald was the spokesperson for his era, identifying with elegant and irreverent American youth. The book reserves for Amory Blaine, the well-born young man who stars in the story, a life of comfort and privilege. Obsessed with social prestige and literary aspirations, Amory enrolls at Princeton University on the eve of World War I and spends his time partying, dating, and clubbing. With a vibrant narrative, a strongly autobiographical tone, and his characteristic irony, the author reveals the immaturity and foolishness of young people dazzled by progress. One of the greatest American writers of the 20th century, Francis Scott Fitzgerald published, in addition to short stories and essays, the novels The Beautiful and the Damned (1922), The Great Gatsby (1925), Tender Is the Night (1934), and The Last Tycoon (1941), all available through BestBolso.

The couple's life is nothing more than a sham: overcome by boredom, incapable of communication, amidst incessant cocktails, receptions, and money, they live in an atmosphere of false euphoria. Fitzgerald was the author who best captured the aura of wealth and its effect on the human soul, depicting the routine of the nouveau riche at a time when America was taking off on a dynamism of prosperity and hypocrisy. A landmark work of the Lost Generation, Tender Is the Night, with its distinctly autobiographical tone, reveals characters with an exceptional sense of realism.

Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940), which inspired the film of the same name directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett—and which won three Oscars in 2009—is one of the captivating narratives in this book, now available in bookstores in a new edition. It's the fantastic story of a man who is born old and grows younger throughout his life. His development occurs in a manner contrary to normal: born looking like a septuagenarian, \"by the time he turned eighteen, Benjamin was as erect as a man of fifty; he had more hair (...), his step was firm, and his voice had lost its tremulous, cracked tone (...).\" As he tries to adapt to clothes and toys, at school and university, and in his love for the beautiful girl who sees in him a mature man, their ages gradually approaching until they are reversed, we follow the strange life of this special man, a character masterfully created by Fitzgerald and now becoming even better known to the general public through the cinema. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Stories from the Jazz Age, written in 1922 and published as Six Stories from the Jazz Age and Other Stories, brings together the most emblematic short stories by the renowned American writer, translated by Brenno Silveira, who also wrote the introductory study. \"Jazz Age,\" the name given by F. Scott Fitzgerald to the frenetic period experienced primarily in the United States, and also in post-World War I Europe, meant much more than music. An entire generation, stunned by the memories and hardships of previous years, seemed to want to seize every moment as if it were their last—and little did they know that all the euphoria of the decade would end with the 1929 crisis. In the 1920s, rigid customs were loosening, women were entering the workforce and becoming more independent, an era of modernity and speed, with their automobiles, was ushered in, and, to the sound of jazz, intellectuals produced amidst endless parties, with a creativity that would transform the global art scene. Whether in the fanciful story of Benjamin Button or in other believable short stories, the author not only exposes this intensity that marked his time, his life, and his literature: he narrates the lives of his characters—successful men, well-off people, dissatisfied husbands and wives, the then-recent studies of psychoanalysis—with a historian's care and a fiction writer's talent, consecrated by his novels *The Great Gatsby* and *Tender Is the Night*. The author's life and work intertwine; we often find traces of Fitzgerald himself, his wife Zelda, and his friends in the stories. As he himself said, \"All my characters are Scott Fitzgerald, even the women are Scott Fitzgerald.\" In addition to \"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,\" the book includes \"The Good Life,\" \"The Camel's Back,\" \"Tarquinius of Cheapside,\" \"O Red-Haired Witch!\", \"The Residue of Happiness,\" \"The Conciliator,\" \"Hot Blood, Cold Blood,\" and \"Gretchen's Nap.\"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176263041276,"sku":"9788503009188","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/608533df1194ef46448e32b5ddcc326e_9b3855bf-5361-4ea2-b813-2f07ab543073.jpg?v=1778310532"},{"product_id":"o-grande-gatsby-1","title":"O grande Gatsby","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eUm dos maiores clássicos da literatura mundial, O grande Gatsby \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eganha uma edição comemorativa dos 100 anos da publicação com projeto gráfico do premiado designer Mateus Valadares.
