The Beautiful and the Damned

Set in an era of intoxicating excitement and ruinous excess, changing manners and challenged morals, F. Scott Fitzgerald''s second novel chronicles the lives of Harvard-educated Anthony Patch and his beautiful, wilful wife, Gloria. By turns hilarious, heart-breaking and chillingly prophetic, it remains one of Fitzgerald''s most acclaimed works, which Gertrude Stein correctly predicted will be read when many of his well-known contemporaries are forgotten.''''
