F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was a renowned American novelist and short story writer who gained prominence for his vivid portrayals of the Jazz Age. Among his most celebrated works are “The Great Gatsby” (1925) and “Tender Is the Night” (1934), which encapsulate the essence of the 1920s and are regarded as some of the finest American literature. Other significant works include “The Beautiful and Damned,” “The Diamond as Big as the Ritz,” and “This Side of Paradise.” Fitzgerald’s impact on American literature and his depiction of the disillusioned youth of the “Lost Generation” during the 1920s cement his status as one of the most distinguished writers of the 20th century.
