On this side of Paradise. Fitzgerald F.S.

Fitzgerald’s first novel, which brought him literary glory.

The book that has become a manifesto for the American youth of the Jazz era.

All young people are the same. They are sure that a brilliant future awaits them and the whole world belongs to them.

So the ambitious Emory Blaine thought - until the harsh school of the First World War has passed. His story is the fate of the whole generation, for which "all the gods died, all wars have died out, all faith is undermined." Now, after many losses, a string of failures and bitter disappointments, he eagerly wants only one thing - to have fun and enjoy every moment. But what is the true value of life “on this side of paradise”?
