{"product_id":"este-lado-do-paraiso-edicao-de-bolso","title":"This Side of Paradise (Paperback)","description":"Fitzgerald's debut novel, This Side of Paradise, was an instant success when it was originally published in 1920. 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. This paperback edition includes a foreword by Daniel Piza. \"Fitzgerald's life and work encapsulate all the anguish of the young people of the post-World War I generation.\" - The New York Times \"Francis Scott Fitzgerald captured like no one else what it was like to be young in a still-young America. And he did it by doing what for many writers is convenience, but in his case was courage: bringing his life to his art in an unprecedented way.\" Daniel Piza, excerpt from the foreword","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159324508412,"sku":"9788577993017","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/d9bd581ee06aa1559b8edf0e417d6e7a_9daae496-1f82-4e1f-a44c-0b1b9fce9701.jpg?v=1777630082","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/este-lado-do-paraiso-edicao-de-bolso","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
