books by F. Scott Fitzgerald     books:       Der Grobe Gatsby/the Great Gatsby2 reviews F. Scott Fitzgerald Distribooks Inc, 1994 The Great Gatsby Along with its amazing choice of words and indescribable wit, The Great Gatsby has become the greatest novel an American author has ever written. F. Scotts Fitzgerald's genuine look into "The Roaring Twenties" gives us a view of a "lost generation" of aristocratic life and the American dream. It must be analyzed and compared to our time in the late 1990's and early second millenia. This ...             F. Scott Fitzgerald: Trimalchio: An Early Version of 'The Great Gatsby' (The Cambridge Edition of the Works ...4 reviews F. Scott Fitzgerald Cambridge University Press, 2000 A Must-Read for Gatsby/Fitzgerald Fans I first encountered "The Great Gatsby" in 11th grade and its sheer lyric beauty has transfixed me to the point of at least 4 readings per year ever since. Therefore, "Trimalchio" was a joy for me to read and I believe it will bring the same amount of happiness to fellow Fitzgerald fans. The book is a brief read at only 146 pages of actual text,( as opposed to "Gatsby's" 189 in the most recent ...             The Great Gatsby (Penguin Popular Classics)3 reviews F. Scott Fitzgerald Penguin Books, 2007 Shines Brilliantly Like a Just-Discovered Piece of Cameo Jewelry from a Bygone Era It's difficult to give any even-handed critique F. Scott Fitzgerald's standard-setting Jazz Age novel since it was required reading for most of us in high school. However, if you come back to it as a full-fledged adult, you'll find that the story still resonates but more like a just-polished cameo piece from a forgotten time. At the core of the book is the elaborate infatuation Jay Gatsby has for ...             BASIL & JOSEPHINE STORIES (Basil & Josephine Stories SL 661)5 reviews F. Scott Fitzgerald Scribner Paper Fiction, 1976 Review I really liked this book. And this isn't coming from some super-articulate adult. This is coming from a 14-year-old High School Freshman. It really shows you what life was like back then in the early 1910's, and how teens back then deal with the same stuff as we do, such as popularity, dating, cars, etc.             The Great Gatsby6 reviews F. Scott Fitzgerald BBC Audiobooks America, 2002 Heartrending I listened to this book over a few nights with my wife, after having read it first some sixteen years ago. It is a masterpiece, and known widely as such, but what surprised me on hearing it was how the book I'd remembered as terribly romantic was actually rather clear-eyed and dark. My wife, who had never read it, listened spell-bound, and at the end burst into tears at the sadness of it. A word ...             The STORIES OF F SCOTT FITZGERALD (Stories F Scott Fitzerald SL 135)3 reviews F. Scott Fitzgerald Scribner Paper Fiction, 1951 AN EXEMPLARY COLLECTION SUPERBLY READ Surely an icon in the annals of American literature, F. Scott Fitzgerald produced a body of work which epitomized the Roaring Twenties. It has been said that his dominant influences were "aspiration, literature, Princeton, Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, and alcohol." Nonetheless, his writing possesses an urgency, a bite, unrivaled by his peers. Collected in this superb audio are nine of his early ...             F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Life in Letters: A New Collection Edited and Annotated by Matthew J. Bruccoli4 reviews F. Scott Fitzgerald Scribner, 1995 Intriguing form of biography This is the sort of book that makes one long for the days prior to-email, when people actually wrote letters to one another and correspondence other than bills and junk mail filled one's mailbox. The book is a valuable supplement to Fitzgerald's many biographies; his letters reveal a remarkable clarity and self-awareness. My heart ached after reading some of them. A must read for all ...             Babylon Revisited9 reviews Scribner, 2008 BRILLIANT STORIES I bought this volume of stories simply to get a copy of Fitzgerald's "May Day" which I'd read in one of my college texts and then could not find for years. I have always felt that "May Day" would make a superb film--and the screenwriter could lift most of the dialogue right out of the story. It is that good and simple and dramatic. Actually every one of the stories in this collection is first ...             The Great Gatsby2 reviews F Scott Fitzgerald Recorded Books, LLC, 1984 Fantastic reading Frank Muller was a fantastic narrator. He reads Gatsby fabulously - and I enjoy the writing very much. I've listened to this book 3 times and I have listened to many other books read by Frank Muller. Amongst these books were some of the Dark Tower series (which are fantastic). Frank is easily one of my favorite performers and was a truly great loss in the field.             The Curious Case of Benjamin Button2 reviews F. Scott Fitzgerald Juniper Grove, 2008 My curiosity was satisfied with this rather peculiar tale... I am not a huge fan of short stories, because it never fails that by the time I find myself invested in them I have reached the last page. Same can be said for `The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', a rather delightful little story that is engaging, interesting and very rewarding. Yes, this is a short story, so I'm going to say this straight off; you may not want to invest your money in this ...             Dear Scott, dear Max: The Fitzgerald-Perkins correspondence;1 review F. Scott Fitzgerald Cassell, 1973 Required Reading for Editors and Authors Though it's either incredibly expensive or simply out of print (or both?), I'd like to submit that Dear Scott/Dear Max: The Fitzgerald-Perkins Correspondence should be required reading for every editor and every author (or anyone else interested in learning how the publishing industry works) who can get their hands on it. The collected letters between F. Scott Fitzgerald and his editor, ...             Best Jazz Age Stories1 review F. Scott Fitzgerald Audio Partners, 2002 CONSUMMATE READING OF UNFORGETTABLE STORIES Acclaimed for his reading of the Bible as well as his stage and screen portrayals veteran actor Alexander Scourby now gives articulate voice to four short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald. To many, the stories of Fitzgerald epitomize the Roaring 20s. Listeners will be delighted with this selection which includes a quartet of the author's best. Written in December, 1930, "Babylon Revisited" is ...             F. Scott Fitzgerald's Love in the Night1 review F. Scott Fitzgerald Edbury Press, 1994 A beautiful and sad story about two lonely peoples love. F. Scott Fitzgerald capture the atmosphere of the decadence and liveful jazz-age. The book is very well written and you almost float through the book.             Afternoon of an Author (A Scribner Classic/Collier Edition)1 review F. Scott Fitzgerald Collier Books, Macmillan Publishing Company, 1987 best fitzgerald short story collection Even though this title appears to be out-of-print, I highly recommend taking Amazon's offer to track one down for you. It is by far Fitzgerald's best collection of shorter work, ranging from his younger Bazil stories to his more mature "semi-Hollywood" work. It also displays his various abilities with modernist literature (viz. the title story) that marks him as a writer truly ahead of his ...             F. Scott Fitzgerald Short Stories1 review F. Scott Fitzgerald Listening Library, 2000 Fitzgerald for the Road This is a great collection of short storys. But Alexander Scourby does a wonderful job reading them are helps bring the characters to life... a great tap to listen to on the way to work.             The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Published by MobileReference (mobi).1 review MobileReference, 2008 Don't miss out on this one! This novel is a complex drama filled with passion and tragedy. Greed and the lust of power are very dangerous. A reflection of a darkening America, the book is more relevant today than it was in 1925.             The Price Was High: Fifty Uncollected Stories2 reviews F. Scott Fitzgerald MJF Books, 1996 Charming! Of course, any of Fitzgerald's work edited by Mr. Bruccoli must be wonderful. These short stories, which appeared in various magazines from the 20s through the 40s are simply charming. Fitzgerald's elegant style of writing and sensuous story-telling techinque captivate the reader from the very first lines. Particularly appealing is Fitzgerld's use of humor - sometimes dry; sometimes ...             The Great Gatsby (Critics Debate)1 review F. Scott Fitzgerald, Stephen Matterson Humanities Press Intl Inc, 1990 Great Gatsby is best book I have ever read in high school!! Skim the first few chapters and get into a the good stuff. The book gives great historical information pertaining to the 1920s, when women were interested in breaking the rules of the culture. It goes on to prove that the American Dream is unobtainable to Gatsby. He can have all the money in the world, and throw the best of all parties, but he lacks Daisy. Which goes on to prove the point ...             Diamond As Big As the Ritz & Other Stories (Wordsworth Classics) (Wordsworth Classics) (Wordsworth Classics)1 review F. Scott Fitzgerald Wordsworth Edition, 1999 Great! This book is absolutely fabulous. I like the style of Fitzgerald, and I believe that in this masterpiece he is in the peak of his talent. The book has a very effective style, and teaches its readers about what it aims. I also reccomend 'The Short Stories 'of F. S. Fitzgerald.             The Great Gatsby (Penguin Modern Classics)1 review F. Scott Fitzgerald Penguin Books, 2000 The finest American novel Like most, I first read the Great Gatsby in my high school English class. Although I have read much since then, I've not found another novel that surpasses to Fitzgerald's masterpiece. Between the solid story, symbolism and pleasant prose, the Great Gatsby touches on something everyone experiences in one degree or another: that of unrealized dreams. There are many Gatsbys in the world - each ...              search for books afternoon, annotated, babylon, benjamin, bruccoli, cambridge, classic, classics, collection, collier, correspondence, curious, diamond, edition, fitzerald, fitzgerald, fitzgerald-perkins, josephine, mobilereference, penguin, perkins, popular, published, revisited, scribner, stories, trimalchio, uncollected, version, wordsworth books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
