90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me . . .

In this glittering new selection of Fitzgerald's short stories, we meet Anson Hunter, The Rich Boy, whose opulent, haunting world paints a vivid portrait of the American elite. Absolution offers a poignant glimpse into the soul of a young boy grappling with sin, whilst May Day captures the whirling hysteria at the dawn of the Jazz Age.

About the Author

Francis Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He is best known for his novels depicting the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age - a term he popularized in his short story collection Tales of the Jazz Age. His first novel, This Side of Paradise, was published in 1920 and was a tremendous critical and commercial success. Fitzgerald followed with The Beautiful and the Damned, The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night . He was working on The Last Tycoon when he died, in Hollywood, in 1940.
