Description
Published when he was twenty-three years old, F. Scott Fitzgerald's debut novel, This Side of Paradise, established him as the golden boy of the dawning Jazz Age. As a chronicle of youth, no other literary work remains as revealing—or as bitingly relevant.
This Side of Paradise chronicles the life of Amory Blaine, a handsome and intelligent Midwesterner, from his childhood up through his early twenties, navigating schooling, love, and war. It is written in three parts: The Romantic Egotist, Interlude, and The Education of a Personage.

This edition includes:
