To the stars

Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) - American writer, representative of the "Lost Generation" in literature. He is known for his novels and short stories that informed the world about the "age of jazz" - the period in US history between the end of the First World War and the beginning of the Great Depression. Folio Publishing House has published his books Gentle Night, The Great Gatsby, On the Other Side of Paradise, Beautiful and Doomed, and The Mysterious Story of Benjamin Button. Fitzgeralds are distinguished by their mastery of subtle psychology and elements of contrast. The publication contains an autobiographical series of works about Duke Lee's Basil and the short story "Children's Fun". Bezil, whose prototype is the author himself, is an ambitious, intelligent and purposeful teenager from the small town of St. Paul, Minnesota. The formation of his personality takes place in moral trials, the hero often finds himself in similar situations, but each time reacts to them differently, which allows us to draw conclusions about how his inner world is changing. He considers his own actions and strives, despite all obstacles, to realize his childhood dreams. Fitzgerald manages to convey the signs of the times in passing: the stories are full of details of American life in the early twentieth century - from costumes to fashionable melodies and dances of the "jazz era".
