Riassunto

American psychiatrist Dick Diver and his wife Nicole are glamorous socialites, enjoying sparkling lives amidst a urry of decadent associates in dazzling 1920s France. But Dick has a weakness, Nicole has a secret, and the entrance of a youthful actress catalyses the unravelling of relationships and tarnishes life under the Riviera sun. Inspired by the darkness in the authors own life and marriage, Tender is the Night is at once a vivid imagining of a unique era, and a delicately crafted and poignant study of the selfishness that simmers within us all. ABOUT THE COVER A phrenological diagram masks an image of grace and sophistication, suggesting a deeper but perhaps misguided analysis of an innocent female mind.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"A tragedy backlist by beauty." "-- Daily Express""For Fitzgerald desolation is a precondition of the lyrical. Hence the most distinctive impression of Tender: A beautiful novel about failure." "-- Independent""It is one of those books that you read and feel a shift... the story is told so poetically and eloquently. It is one of those books that you read and think: if I could only remember that sentence -- it is so beautiful." " --"Sam Taylor-Wood

L'autore:

F. Scott Fitzgerald is rightfully acknowledged as one of America's greatest authors.
