Autoren-Porträt von F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul, Minnesota, stands among the foremost writers of American literature in the twentieth century. His literary career was marked by his poignant portrayal of the Jazz Age, a term he popularized. Fitzgerald's work encapsulates the exuberance, glamour, and moral vacuity of the post-World War I era, offering a window into the lives of the Lost Generation. He is best known for his masterpiece, 'The Great Gatsby', a critical exploration of the American Dream gone awry. Another poignant work, 'Babylon Revisited', is a short story that epitomizes Fitzgerald's thematic concerns with the fleeting nature of success and the destruction wrought by excess. Through his expert storytelling, masterful use of language, and psychological depth, Fitzgerald's works remain timeless. His narrative style blends lyrical prose with keen social insights, earning him both critical and popular acclaim. Despite struggling with personal turmoil and alcoholism, his literary output left an indelible mark on American literature. He passed away on December 21, 1940, yet his works continue to resonate with readers, scholars, and critics, affirming his legacy as a preeminent figure in the annals of American letters.
