Publisher's Synopsis
THE BEAUTIFUL AND DAMNED (1922) by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a psychological novel of the Jazz Age, a term coined by the author himself. Fitzgerald, one of the greatest 20th century writers and a member of the "Lost Generation," portrayed a decadent society of glittering and depraved Roaring Twenties socialites, money and marriage.
Privilege, aimless love, and misdirected urges fill the world of Anthony Patch and his wife Gloria, both figures as tragic as the author himself.
