Description
Paris in the Twenties: Part Two
SOME PLAYERS BEHIND THE CELEBRITIES: There was more to expatriate Paris than a half-dozen canonized writers whose names everyone recognizes. There were hundreds of others who participated in the “great literary workshop.” Like their more famous colleagues, they too were living, working and making their own contributions to the mythology of the Lost Generation.
Collecting F. Scott Fitzgerald
When he died of a heart attack in December 1940, Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was, to all appearances, a broken man. True genius, however, cannot be stifled. A year after his death, when The Last Tycoon was published, his reputation began to grow. It continues unabated to this day.
F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Checklist of First Editions
All of the works published in Fitzgerald’s lifetime are difficult to find in first edition and in collector’s condition. A first edition, first state copy of The Great Gatsby in dust wrapper would form the cornerstone of any Twentieth-century literature collection.
Books into Film – The Great Gatsby, a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, films by Elliott Nugent and Jack Clayton.
