Tales of the Jazz Age

"Head and Shoulders" is the story of what happens when Yale philosopher Horace Tarbox-the "head"-answers the door to Vaudeville star Marcia-the "shoulders." Marcia's performance is but the first step in an astonishing role reversal that will prove, ".when you [open] the door at the rap of life, you let in many things.""Head and Shoulders" was collected in Flappers and Philosophers (1920), and is resonant with many of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most popular themes including mismatched lovers, the sacrifices made for love, and romantic disappointment.

Winter Dreams - Short Story

F. Scott Fitzgerald: Der große Gatsby, Neuausgabe 2018 || Wir befinden uns an der Ostküste der USA, im Jahr 1922. Es ist die aufregende Zeit der "Roaring Twenties", als in New York Wolkenkratzer aus dem Boden wachsen und die Menschen lebenshungrig den Tanz auf dem Vulkan üben. Auf Long Island lebt man in mondäner Dekadenz, die harten Seiten des Lebens haben hier keinen Platz. Der junge Börsenmakler Nick Carraway bezieht auf der Halbinsel, die New York vorgelagert ist, ein kleines Haus, das er sich mit seinem schmalen Salär gerade noch leisten kann. In der Villa seines Nachbarn werden alle paar Tage monströse Partys mit Hunderten von Gästen gefeiert; der Gastgeber aber, ein gewisser Gatsby, bleibt im Hintergrund. Doch eines Tages steht Gatsby mit seinem riesigen Wagen vor Carraways Häuschen und bittet ihn wenig später um einen merkwürdigen Gefallen ... || Fitzgeralds Kultbuch wurde mehrmals verfilmt, u. a. 1974 mit Robert Redford und 2013 mit Leonardo DiCaprio als Gatsby.

Der große Gatsby

L'auteur de Gatsby le Magnifique et de Tendre est la nuit a écrit plus de cent soixante nouvelles, qu'il vendait aux journaux à grand tirage pour assurer son train de vie. Les quatorze récits de ce recueil témoignent avec éclat qu'il ne sacrifia pour aucune de ces exigences d'écrivain, prodiguant des trésors d'art et de sensibilité.Jeunes hommes pauvres et jolies héritières romantiques, perdants et gagnants, heureux et damnés, milliardaires sarcastiques et parvenus émouvants : on retrouve ici tous les types de l'univers fitzgeraldien et les thèmes qui le hantèrent, la fragilité du bonheur, le désenchantement, les blessures secrètes, les implacables barrières que l'argent et la classe sociale opposent à l'amour et au bonheur.

Love Boat (Love Boat, #1)

Gatsby est un jeune millionnaire au passé trouble, issu d’une famille pauvre du Middle West. Dans une luxueuse propriété de Long Island, il donne de somptueuses réceptions qui réunissent la haute société New Yorkaise.
