Flappers and Philosophers
Fitzgerald, F. Scott
Synopsis "Flappers and Philosophers"
"On the whole, Flappers and Philosophers represents the triumph of form over matter... there is no telling what good fortune awaits this volume of excellent short stories-a form more to the liking of the American people than the novel."-The New York Times (1920)Flappers and Philosophers (1920) is a collection of short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald that is the prelude to the themes evident in his novels. The stories feature his iconic characters, strong-willed women and disconsolate men, characteristic of The Lost Generation. The stories included in this edition: "Benediction," "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," "The Cut-Glass Bowl," "Dalyrimple Goes Wrong," "Head and Shoulders," "The Four Fists," "The Ice Palace," and "The Offshore Pirate" all resonate with the colorful prose that made Fitzgerald famous. Popular at the time and a classic today, fans of The Great Gatsby (1925) and Fitzgerald will thoroughly enjoy reading these well-crafted stories.
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (Saint Paul, Minnesota, 24 de septiembre de 1896-Hollywood, California, 21 de diciembre de 1940) fue un militar, anfitrión, novelista y escritor estadounidense, ampliamente conocido como uno de los mejores autores del siglo xx, cuyos trabajos son paradigmáticos de la era del jazz. Fitzgerald es considerado miembro de la Generación Perdida de los años veinte.
Escribió cinco novelas: El gran Gatsby, Suave es la noche, A este lado del paraíso, Hermosos y malditos y El último magnate, que, aunque sin terminar, fue publicada tras su muerte. Escribió también múltiples historias cortas, muchas de las cuales tratan sobre la juventud y las promesas, la edad y la desesperación.
