Творчество Фрэнсиса Скотта Фицджеральда, одного из самых известных и блистательных авторов "эпохи джаза", остаётся актуальным и интересным и по сей день. В эту книгу вошел блистательный и загадочный рассказ "Алмаз величиной с отель "Риц"" и роман "Последний магнат", опубликованный уже после смерти Фицджеральда. Он рисует читателю правдивую картину "золотого века" Голливуда: фейерверки событий из красивой жизни звёзд, километры отснятой киноплёнки и зловещая пустота, которую обязательно придётся чем-то заполнить. Впрочем, все сильные люди имеют свои слабости, и главный герой романа - не исключение...

In these two novels, F.Scott Fitzgerald captures the flamboyance, the carelessness and the cruelty of the wealthy during America's Jazz Age. The Great Gatsby lives mysteriously in a luxurious Long Island mansion, playing lavish host to hundreds of people. And yet no one seems to know him or how he became so rich. He is rumoured to be everything from a German spy to a war hero. People clamour for invitations to his wild parties. But Jay Gatsby doesn't heed them. He cares for one person alone - Daisy Buchanan, the woman he has waited for all his life. Little does he know that his infatuation will lead to tragedy and end in murder. The Diamond as Big as the Ritx is a dark fairytale. A young man accompanies a school friend to his home for a vacation and encounters riches beyond his wildest dreams... but there is a price for such luxuries. Стильно оформленное подарочное издание в суперобложке, с трехсторонним золотым обрезом и шелковым ляссе.

Benjamin Button is born as an old man, but as time passes, he gradually grows younger. As he grows up, he encounters prejudice, shock and delight as he seeks to live an ordinary live. Touching and profound, 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a uniquely moving meditation on the experience of growing up. This beautiful clothbound collection also includes several of F. Scott Fitzgerald's stories set in the Roaring Twenties, which he termed the 'Jazz Age', such as 'The Jelly Bean', 'May Day' and 'The Diamond as Big as the Ritz'. Ranging from the farcical to the insightful, Fitzgerald presents an enlightening portrait of 1920s America in these stories while always remembering that the first duty of a writer is to entertain.

From Collins Classics, short stories from the author of 'The Great Gatsby' and including 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'. In these eleven stories, Fitzgerald depicts the Roaring Twenties as he lived them. He masterfully blends accounts of flappers and the smart set with more fantastical visions of America, always imbuing his narratives with his trademark themes of money, class, ambition and love. In 'May Day', Fitzgerald weaves an account of a raucous Yale alumni party, the participants of which are oblivious to the violent socialist demonstration being acted out around them. 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' is an unorthodox account of a man who ages backwards, and 'The Diamond as Big as the Ritz' tells the story of a young man who discovers that his friend's family possesses a diamond that is literally larger than the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. This 1922 collection confirmed Fitzgerald as the voice of his generation.

A collection of early short stories which helped make Fitzgerald’s name, Tales of the Jazz Age combines period pieces – the most notable of which is the novella-length ‘May Day’ – with more fanciful creations, such as the fantastical ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’, recently made into a Hollywood film. Also containing the now classic story ‘The Diamond as Big as the Ritz’, as well as lesser-known sketches and tales, this diverse selection, compiled by Fitzgerald himself from material published in newspapers and magazines, showcases both the variety of his writing and early examples of the themes and characters which would find their way into his later novels.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896–1940) - а famous American novelist and short story writer. F. Scott Fitzgerald is regarded as one of the greatest twentieth century writers from the so-called "Lost Generation". He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth, promise, age, and despair. Tender is the Night (1934), tells the story of the rise and fall of Dick Diver, a promising young psychoanalyst, and his wife, Nicole, who is also one of his patients. The early 1930s, when Fitzgerald worked on the book, were the darkest years of his life, and the novel's bleakness reflects the author’s own experiences.
