"The Beautiful and Damned", first published by Scribner's in 1922, is F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel. The novel provides a portrait of the Eastern elite during the Jazz Age, exploring New York Café Society. As with his other novels, Fitzgerald's characters are complex, especially in their marriage and intimacy, much like how he treats intimacy in "Tender Is the Night". The book is believed to be largely based on Fitzgerald's relationship and marriage with Zelda Fitzgerald.

This Side of Paradise is the debut novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, published in 1920. The book examines the lives and morality of post-World War I youth. Its protagonist Amory Blaine is an attractive student at Princeton University who dabbles in literature. The novel explores the theme of love warped by greed and status seeking, and takes its title from a line of Rupert Brooke's poem Tiare Tahiti. The novel famously helped F. Scott Fitzgerald gain Zelda Sayre's hand in marriage; its publication was her condition of acceptance.

John T. Unger is a young southerner who goes to Montana for summer vacation with a wealthy college classmate.

Sie waren das wohl glamouröseste Paar ihrer Zeit, Ikonen der Lost Generation, skandalumwittert und skandalträchtig. Er, Scott, berühmter Autor des "Großen Gatsby", aber fest in einer Schaffenskrise und zutiefst verunsichert. Sie, Zelda, mittelmäßige Malerin und Tänzerin, begabte, aber heimlich schreibende Autorin. Beide alkohol- und streitsüchtig. Ihre Ehe mündet nach mehreren Jahren in einer zermürbenden Hassliebe, in der sich heftige Liebesbekundungen mit derben Verbalattacken abwechseln, immer begleitet von schweren gegenseitigen Vorwürfen.

Here is the ultimate romantic novel that reveals the decadence, prosperity, and exhilaration of the Jazz Age, the time that succeeded World War I, creating a world of glamour for the fortunate few. In Jay Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald creates a mysterious, wealthy hero who throws fabulous parties that he shows little interest in attending but which prove very eventful.

After the smashing success of his first novel, This Side of Paradise, written when he was 23, F. Scott Fitzgerald rocked the literary world with his masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, in l925 - a passionate love story about a poor young man's unwavering love for the lovely Daisy, belle of Louisville. Told with extraordinarily beautiful language, Fitzgerald's characters sizzle with vitality and life as Gatsby pursues the love of his life amid the splendor of his Long Island estate by throwing truly amazing parties set to the music of the Jazz Age.

When The Great Gatsby was published, commercially it was a failure but critically it was a success. It is still the most admired and well-read of all Scott Fitzgerald’s novels and it is considered a handbook of the 'Jazz Age'. Scott Fitzgerald put much of himself and his life into the book. He created the character of Jay Gatsby to illustrate his own experiences of the illusory and morally bankrupt aspects of 1920s' America, and the character of Nick Carraway to show his disapproval of its destructive effects.

Three of Fitzgerald's early short stories: "Dalyrimple Goes Wrong", "Jemina, the Mountain Girl", and "Tarquin of Cheapside". Each story is fascinating in its own way, with roots that lead to his novels. His writing, even at this early stage in his career, is like champagne. "Dalyrimple" has some of the themes Dreiser later used in An American Tragedy; "Jemina" sounds like what would happen if Mark Twain met southwestern humor; "Tarquin" is unique and better listened to than discussed.
