A modern classic by F. Scott Fitzgerald, with an introduction by #1 New York Times bestselling author Amor Towles and a foreword by Fitzgerald's great-granddaughter Blake Hazard.

Set in the south of France in the late 1920s, Tender Is the Night is the tale of a young American actress, Rosemary Hoyt, and her complicated relationship with the alluring couple Dick and Nicole Diver. A brilliant psychiatrist at the time of his marriage, Dick is both husband and doctor to Nicole, whose wealth pushed him into a glamorous lifestyle, and whose growing strength highlights Dick's decline.

Lyrical, expansive, and hauntingly evocative, Tender Is the Night was one of the most talked about books when it was originally published in 1934 and is even more beloved by readers today.
