Den store Gatsby blir sett på som et av amerikansk litteraturs hovedverker og er et fullendt og innsiktsfullt portrett av overklassemiljøet i de «glade 20-årene». Gjennom fortelleren Nick Carraway, blir man presentert for det overfladiske, glitrende livet i herskapshusene langs Long Islands kyst på 1920-tallet. Her bor den mystiske hovedpersonen, Jay Gatsby, som er kjent for sine ville, overdådige fester for hundrevis av mennesker. Likevel er det egentlig ikke noen som kjenner ham eller vet hvor hans formue stammer fra.

Un tema caro a Fitzgerald, la corruzione e l’immoralità che si accompagnano alla ricchezza, viene svolto in questo racconto in modo fantastico e simbolico, in uno scenario da sogno.

Frech, abenteuerlustig und extravagant: Kaum eine andere Frau verkörpert die Goldenen Zwanzigerjahre so sehr wie Zelda Fitzgerald. Mit ihrem Ehemann F. Scott Fitzgerald führte sie ein ausschweifendes, turbulentes Leben, das sie am Ende zerstörte. Ihre Erzählungen führen mitten hinein in die glamouröse und schillernde Welt der Tänzerinnen, Sängerinnen und Schauspielerinnen New Yorks. Atmosphärisch dicht und wunderbar sinnlich erzählt sie von der hohen Kunst, sich selbst zu inszenieren, und von dem Preis, den man dafür zahlt.

After the success of This Side of Paradise, it was F. Scott Fitzgerald’s popular short fiction that helped maintain the luxury and celebrity to which he and his wife, Zelda, had grown accustomed. Reflections of that blithe and glittering lifestyle, these eleven stories reveal a man both beguiled by and critical of the American postwar generation he defined. Fitzgerald’s tales capture the inauguration of the age in all its hysteria, revelry, and tragedy - the same world he would later revisit in his renowned The Great Gatsby.

Tom Fitzgerald, better known as the Great Brain, is struggling to stay reformed now that his friends have threatened to shut him out if he pulls even one more swindle. But his younger brother, J.

La historia de Benjamin Button, un hombre que nace viejo y, a medida que pasan los años, recupera la juventud, lo que le permite ver la sociedad que lo rodea con ojos distintos y críticos. Otros relatos hablan de novios imposibles y padres incómodos con su condición, de jóvenes y ricos herederos que envejecen prematuramente un mundo de luces y sombras que deja un sabor amargo en los labios. Este audiolibro constituye la quintaesencia del mundo narrativo de Scott Fitzgerald, quizá el narrador más dotado que dio la literatura norteamericana del siglo XX.

Amidst the joys of a motherhood journey, there is an undercurrent of challenge unlike any other you’ll face in your life, requiring a different kind of strength than your pre-motherhood days. The current maternal healthcare system sets moms up to get weaker in pregnancy and start motherhood with a deficit of strength and energy. This means the vast majority of mothers are slogging through motherhood feeling weak and discouraged. It’s time for that to change. Each week, Pregnancy and Postpartum Exercise Specialists (and sisters!) Kendra Fitzgerald and Nicole Coons will bring you the deep ...

Sich am Lagerfeuer Geschichten erzählen - so war das damals im Wilden Westen. Aber diese schöne Erzähltradition hat beileibe nicht nur in den USA stattgefunden, auch wenn die vorliegende Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten sämtlich von dort stammt! Mit dabei: "Wie man ein Feuer macht" (J. London), "Die Maske des roten Todes" (E. A. Poe), "Die Eine Million Pfundnote" (M. Twain), "Rip van Winkle" (W. Irving), "David Swan" (N. Hawthorne), "Die Braut kommt nach Yellow Sky" (S. Crane), "Der seltsame Fall des Benjamin Button" (F. S. Fitzgerald).

This great American novel describes the lavish lifestyle, along with the cruelty and ugliness, of Long Island society during the Jazz Age. Told through the eyes of Nick Carraway, the book follows events surrounding Jay Gatsby, who, despite his enormous wealth, longs desperately for those things that money can't buy.

Forget the inspirational posters – we're building a supportive community where you can ditch the work mask, share the real you (even the slightly embarrassing parts), and find joy without having to explain why spreadsheets aren't as thrilling as brunch. Together, through honest conversations we'll peel back the layers, celebrate wins (big and small – because let's face it, surviving Monday is a win), and learn from each other's journeys. Hey, it takes a village (and a good therapist, but that's a different app).

Die Kurzgeschichte Absolution (veröffentlicht im Jahr 1924) ist die Geschichte des heranwachsenden Rudolph Miller, eines romantischen Träumers, der versucht, seiner kleinen Stadt im Mittleren Westen zu entkommen, indem er lügt und sich ein anderes Ich schafft. Rudolphs Enthüllungen im Beichtstuhl gegenüber dem Priester, Pater Schwartz, offenbaren seine charakterlichen Schwächen. Ursprünglich als Prolog für "The Great Gatsby" (veröffentlicht im Jahr 1925) geschrieben, wollte Fitzgerald die Kindheit von Jay Gatsby enthüllen, verwarf die Idee jedoch, änderte die Namen und veröffentlichte sie als Kurzgeschichte.
