This book contains two of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s popular novels: This Side of Paradise and The Beautiful and The Damned. Summary of the Book This Side of Paradise This Side of Paradise is said to be a semi-autobiographical novel of Fitzgerald. The romantic novel, which was written by the author when he was 23 years old, gives us an idea of what his youth was like during the Jazz Age. It is the story of Amory Blaine, a young American and Princeton student, and his experiences as he matures into a young man at Princeton. The Beautiful and Damned This book can be easily considered as one of Fitzgerald’s bets works. Anthony Patch is educated at Harvard and an aesthete. He and his beautiful wife, Gloria, hang by a thin thread as they try to survive in a marriage that is taken over by alcohol and greed. This story gives readers insight into the reckless life of the newly rich and the nightlife of New York. About F. Scott Fitzgerald F.
