F. Scott Fitzgerald`s last completed novel, ” Tender is the Night” is edited by Arnold Goldman with an introduction & notes by Richard Godden in ” Penguin Modern Classics”. Between the First World War & the Wall Street Crash the French Riviera was the stylish place for wealthy Americans to visit. Among the most fashionable are psychoanalyst Dick Diver & his wife Nicole, who hold court at their villa. Into their circle comes Rosemary Hoyt, a film star, who is instantly attracted to them, but understands little of the dark secrets & hidden corruption that hold them together. As Dick draws closer to Rosemary, he fractures the delicate structure of his marriage & sets both Nicole & himself on to a dangerous path where only the strongest can survive. In this exquisite, lyrical novel, Fitzgerald has poured much of the essence of his own life; he has also depicted the age of materialism, shattered idealism & broken dreams. F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) has acquired a mythical status in American literary history, & his masterwork ” The Great Gatsby” is considered by many to be the `great American novel`. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre, dubbed `the first American Flapper`, & their traumatic marriage & Zelda`s gradual descent into insanity became the leading influence on his writing. As well as many short stories, Fitzgerald wrote five novels ” This Side of Paradise”, ” The Great Gatsby”, ” The Beautiful & the Damned”, ” Tender is the Night” &, incomplete at the time of his death, ” The Last Tycoon”. After his death ” The New York Times” said of him that `in fact & in the literary sense he created a ”generation” `. If you enjoyed ” Tender is the Night”, you might like Truman Capote`s ” Breakfast at Tiffany`s”, also available in ” Penguin Classics”. ” One of the most wonderful writers of the twentieth century”. (” Financial Times”). ...
