Bernice se coiffe à la garçonne

In this story, a baby born in 1860 begins life as an old man and proceeds to age backward. F. Scott Fizgerald hinted at this kind of inversion when he called his era "a generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken." Perhaps nowhere in American fiction has this "Lost Generation" been more vividly preserved than in Fitzgerald's short fiction.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate – a marvelous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period – which reveals a hero like no other – one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous entertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan – a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.

Gatsby Le Magnifique

Francis Scott Fitzgerald fut un nouvelliste hors pair. Les revues littéraires américaines s'arrachaient ses écrits quand l'auteur emblématique des années folles était au faîte de sa gloire. Dix-huit textes inédits ont été retrouvés : seize nouvelles et deux esquisses de scénario destinées à Hollywood. Les rêves de succès, la solitude des gens simples ou célèbres dans un monde en crise, le milieu du cinéma et ses mœurs, mais aussi la maladie et la folie sont quelques-uns des thèmes qui traversent ce recueil. Une publication qui constitue aujourd’hui un événement littéraire mondial.

Die Kristallglasschale ("The Cut-Glass Bowl") ist eine Geschichte des amerikanischen Autors F. Scott Fitzgerald, die erstmals in der Mai-Ausgabe 1920 des Scribner's Magazine veröffentlicht und später im selben Jahr in seine erste Geschichtensammlung Flappers and Philosophers aufgenommen wurde. Sie zeichnet das Leben eines Ehepaares in New York, Evylyn und Harold Piper, durch verschiedene schwierige oder tragische Ereignisse nach, bei denen es um eine geschliffene Glasschüssel geht, die sie als Hochzeitsgeschenk erhielten und die irgendwie Unglück zu bringen scheint.

Twenty-one and no longer a debutante, Myra Harper suffers from the "calendar blues." But, as a friend advises, there isn't time to drift into romance, so she must instead "pick out the best thing in sight.and go after him hammer and tongs.""Myra Meets His Family" is typical of F. Scott Fitzgerald's early commercial stories in terms of character, setting and theme, and although Fitzgerald feared it was no good, it sold it easily to The Saturday Evening Post for four hundred dollars, marking the author's second appearance in the renowned magazine. Fox Film Corporation released the theatrical version of the story that same year titled The Husband Hunter, starring Eileen Percy.
