Publisher's Synopsis

90 Classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me . . .


In this glittering new selection of Fitzgerald's short stories, we meet Anson Hunter, 'The Rich Boy', whose opulent, haunting world paints a vivid portrait of the American elite. 'Absolution' offers a poignant glimpse into the soul of a young boy grappling with sin, whilst 'May Day' captures the whirling hysteria at the dawn of the Jazz Age.
