<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Previously published in 2008 in the United Kingdom at the University Press, Cambridge.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel--written at a pivotal moment in his career--is now available in a beautifully designed special collector's edition.</b> <p/><i>The Beautiful and Damned </i>is a stunning satire of the glamorous but doomed marriage between Anthony Patch and his wife, Gloria. Harvard-educated Patch is waiting for his inheritance upon his grandfather's death. His marriage to Gloria is fueled by alcohol and destroyed by greed. This shallow, pleasure-seeking couple race through a series of fiascoes--first in hilarity, then in despair. <p/>A devastating portrait of the nouveaux rich, New York nightlife, reckless ambition, and squandered talent, <i>The Beautiful and Damned</i> was published in 1922 on the heels of Fitzgerald's first novel, <i>This Side of Paradise</i>. This keenly observed novel signaled Fitzgerald's maturity as a storyteller and confirmed his enormous talent as a novelist.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Anthony Patch The victors belong to the spoils.<br>
