The mysterious story of Benjamin Batton. Fitzgerald F.S.

In essence, what the great expert on human souls, the literary symbol of the “era of jazz” and one of the most talented masters of the English -language prose of the twentieth century, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, wrote, ”he wrote about loneliness. And the best confirmation of this is this collection of his classic short stories of different years.

It doesn’t matter whether these short stories belong to psychological realism or are close to parables, are the ironic parodies for “mass” genres, they are funny or serious, they are funny, - They are invariably about the loneliness of the human soul among people.

Love, friendship, communication, family, work and entertainment - nothing more than a kind of illusion, which is in a very unexpected or sad way, or the protective reaction of the mind, trying to cling to the elusive reality.
