Sobre este e-book
Francis Scott Fitzgerald's "Tender Is the Night" is a profound exploration of love, ambition, and the disintegration of the American Dream in the 1920s. The narrative unfolds through the life of Dick Diver, a charismatic psychiatrist, and his tumultuous relationship with the fragile actress Nicole Warren, highlighting themes of mental illness, identity, and the moral decay of the expatriate community in Europe. Fitzgerald's lyrical prose, steeped in symbolism and rich imagery, captures both the allure and the malaise of a post-war society, evoking a poignant commentary on the era's decadence and despair. Fitzgerald, a leading figure of the Jazz Age, penned this novel during a tumultuous period in his own life, marked by personal struggles and societal changes. His firsthand experiences with the complexities of wealth and mental health, coupled with his observations of expatriate life in Europe, deeply informed his artistic vision, culminating in the narrative's sophisticated structure and emotional depth. "Tender Is the Night" reflects not only Fitzgerald's personal tribulations but also a broader cultural commentary reflective of its time. This masterpiece is highly recommended for readers seeking a richly layered and evocative literary experience. Fitzgerald's exploration of the human psyche and social disillusionment resonates deeply, making it an essential reading for anyone interested in the complexities of love and identity against the backdrop of societal expectations.
Sobre o autor
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896–1940) was an American novelist and short story writer whose works are the paradigmatic writings of the Jazz Age, a term he coined. Often regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century, Fitzgerald is celebrated for his vivid and evocative prose, as well as his tumultuous life filled with triumphs and tragedies. His most famous novel, 'The Great Gatsby' (1925), is a critical and commercial success that captures the spirit of the age. 'Tender Is the Night' (1934), his fourth novel, is another notable work that presents a rich, psychologically complex story of love and despair among the American expatriates in the French Riviera. Fitzgerald's writings are characterized by their meticulously crafted narratives and profound explorations of ambition, love, and social strata. Despite a career marred by alcoholism and financial difficulties, Fitzgerald's literary reputation has grown posthumously. His works are considered classics of American literature, imbued with themes that resonate across time, reflecting universal aspects of the human condition. Fitzgerald's unique blend of romance, cynicism, and lyrical prose has left a profound influence on subsequent generations of writers.
