This Side Of Paradise (Everyman's Library CLASSICS) - Hardcover

Scott Fitzgerald's first novel, written when the author was twenty-four, appeared in 1920 and immediately established him as a leading literary figure in the brilliant and dangerous world of 1920s America. The novel tells the story of a spoilt child in search of happiness. Pampered as a child, wealthy, brilliant at school, Amory Blaine looks for the love of others but only finds himself. A short, sharp masterpiece with an intriguing religious undertow, this is also a touchingly autobiographical novel which reflects ominously on Fitzgerald's own future.

This new edition, prepared with the most rec ent techniques of modern scholarly editing, brings into bein g an accurate, fully annotated text based on Fitzgerald''s or iginal manuscript. '
