Riassunto

The life of F. Scott Fitzgerald reads like one of his own novels: a young man of great promise marries into wealth; his life seems golden but beneath the surface lie alcoholism, debt, insecurity and in Fitzgerald's case the mental instability of hisbeautiful faithless wife, Zelda. PENGUIN ILLUSTRATED LIVES is a new series of photographic biographies that allows you to step into the world of your favourite writers. Each title contains a brief text, integrated with over one hundred images, many in colour, allowing an immediate, intimate understanding of their life: their family, friends, home and work. Also included are particular visual treats such as first-edition covers, manuscript pages, letters and doodles.
