This Side of Paradise, F. Scott Fitzgerald's romantic and witty first
novel, was written when the author was only twenty-three years old. This
semiautobiographical story of the handsome, indulged, and idealistic
Princeton student Amory Blaine received critical raves and catapulted
Fitzgerald to instant fame. Now, readers can enjoy the newly edited,
authorized version of this early classic of the Jazz Age, based on
Fitzgerald's original manuscript. In this definitive text, This Side of
Paradise captures the rhythms and romance of Fitzgerald's youth and offers
a poignant portrait of the Lost Generation.
