It was a year ago last October that the universe conspired to create an opportunity for me to drive cross country, New York to Cali and Cali back to New York over a period of two and a half months. And so through the eyes of a child, I set out to see the United States under a cloud of COVID darkness. I got to see some of the most amazing sites, have unexpected adventures, some near death experiences and time to reflect on life. I decided prior to leaving that I would document my journey by keeping an audio diary that I would one day share with my children. I recently decided that I would also ...

Romanen "Natten er blid" udkom i USA i 1934. Det er F. Scott Fitzgeralds mest ambitiøse værk om mellemkrigstidens fortabte generation, og også den mest selvransagende. Der er en god portion af Fitzgeralds ombruste ægteskab med Zelda i denne skildring af ægteparret Dick og Nicole Diver, der er bosat på den franske Riviera. Divers er rige, smukke, dejlige - og frem for alt sjove at være sammen med. Men facaden holder ikke i længden, og deres kærlighed styrer mod afgrunden.

Året er 1922. Den unge forfatter Nick Carraway er flyttet fra Midtvesten til det pulserende liv i New York for at få sin del af den amerikanske drøm: fest, penge og berømmelse. Nick bosætter sig på Long Island, hvor han bliver nabo til den mystiske Jay Gatsby; en rigmand, der er kendt for at holde de mest overdådige fester i sit enorme, luksuriøse hus. På den anden side af bugten residerer Nicks kusine, Daisy, der er gift med den utroligt rige Tom Buchanan.

Dick Diver ist ein sorgloser und skrupelloser Sunnyboy, der nichts wirklich ernst nimmt. Er studiert Psychologie, weil das hübscheste Mädchen der Uni in diesem Fach eingeschrieben ist. Er heiratet eine psychisch labile Patientin, weil deren Familie überaus vermögend ist und gründet mit deren Geld eine Klinik für Nervenkrankheiten. Mit Alkohol und Affären befriedigt er weiterhin sein Ego, aber mit den Jahren stellt er fest, dass ihn weder seine Familie noch seine Arbeit glücklich machen.

The debut novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the book examines the lives and morality of American youth in the aftermath of World War I. The novel explores the theme of love warped by greed and status seeking.

The Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd helped usher in a new kind of southern music from Jacksonville, Florida. Together, they and fellow bands like Blackfoot, 38 Special, and Molly Hatchet would reset the course of '70s rock. Yet Jacksonville seemed an unlikely hotbed for a new musical movement. Michael FitzGerald blends eyewitness detail with in-depth history to tell the story of how the River City bred this generation of legendary musicians.

Beloved for nearly a century since its release in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s vintage American novel still stands as the quintessential story of the Roaring Twenties. Nick Carraway, a newcomer to New York, tells of mysterious millionaire neighbor Jay Gatsby and his undying adoration of the lovely Daisy Buchanan. In this new audio edition, narrators Kyle Tait and Chelsea Stephens blend to bring the Jazz Age back to life, in a duet retelling of a classic tale.

Amory Blaine is an intelligent young man from Minnesota who believes that his life will be full of promise. A poet and lover at heart, his life is derailed with his deployment as a soldier in World War I. When he returns, he begins a career in advertising but is disenchanted with the work, feelings that it does not let his creativity run free the way it should. The novel follows Amory’s life and series of failed romances as he contends with living in the aftermath of a global war.

Tales of the Jazz Age is a collection of short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald, one of the most well-known Jazz Age writers whose works have stood the test of time. These stories are separated into several themes, ranging from the fantastical to the more realistic.

In one of the most beloved works of 20th-century literature, audiences step into the decadent but tumultuous life of Nick Carraway, a young man looking to make his way in the bustling New York City business world. He soon meets Gatsby, his mysterious neighbor known for throwing extravagant galas in his gilded home. Jay Gatsby is a man of extravagant taste and has great wealth but only wants what he can’t have - Daisy Buchanan, a flighty debutante married to an unfaithful husband.

Fitzgerald's debut novel, This Side of Paradise, tells of a handsome young man, Amory Blaine, whose romantic relationships with women are touched with a reflection of his own narcissism. First published in 1920, it covers Amory's life at Princeton and later as a soldier during World War I. The central character is loosely based on Fitzgerald himself, and the female characters are mostly based on actual women in his life as well. The book was a solid success and helped Fitzgerald persuade Jazz Age icon Zelda Sayres, fictionalized in the novel, to marry him.

In the early 20th century, Anthony Patch, a socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon's fortune, finds himself falling madly in love with another socialite. Self-absorbed and vain, Gloria Gilbert jumps at the chance to marry Anthony, and the pair embark on a downward spiral that illustrates their selfishness and leaves them both unfulfilled.

The year is 1922, and young Nick Carraway moves to the village of West Egg, where he discovers that his neighbor is the eclectic millionaire Jay Gatsby. As he and Gatsby become acquainted, Nick is thrown into a world full of dazzling parties, unrequited love, and unchecked idealism. Gatsby, surrounded by riches, yearns for the love of a woman who chose another man. He waits for her every night, using a green light at the end of his dock to call out to her from across the water.

Perhaps the greatest American novel written, The Great Gatsby is set in New York, in 1922, in a rich, spoiled world with crime and bootlegging in the background.

Some consider The Great Gatsby the greatest American novel ever written about love, dreams, business, bootlegging, Wall Street, the Midwest, and the East, as well as Yale, prep schools, the rich, and more. F. Scott Fitzgerald followed up with Tender Is the Night, also considered equally compelling.
