Résumé

Résumé : "This Side of Paradise" is the debut novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald, published in 1920. The novel explores the life and moral development of Amory Blaine, a young, wealthy, and attractive student at Princeton University. Set in the post-World War I era, the narrative delves into the complexities of youth, love, and the pursuit of status. Amory's journey is marked by a series of romantic entanglements and intellectual pursuits, which ultimately lead to his disillusionment with the world around him. The novel is divided into two books: "The Romantic Egotist" and "The Education of a Personage." In the first book, Amory's character is shaped by his relationship with his mother, Beatrice, and his experiences at Princeton. The second book follows his life after college, as he navigates the challenges of adulthood and the societal expectations of his time. Fitzgerald's work is noted for its exploration of themes such as the impact of wealth on personal relationships and the quest for identity in a rapidly changing world. The novel's title is derived from a line in Rupert Brooke's poem "Tiare Tahiti," reflecting the tension between idealism and reality that permeates the story. "This Side of Paradise" is a seminal work that captures the spirit of the Jazz Age and the complexities of the human experience.
Biographie : Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 - December 21, 1940) was an American novelist, essayist, short story writer and screenwriter. He was best known for his novels depicting the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age—a term he popularized. During his lifetime, he published four novels, four story collections, and 164 short stories. Although he achieved temporary popular success and fortune in the 1920s, Fitzgerald received critical acclaim only after his death and is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.
