If the 'Roaring Twenties' are remembered as the era of 'flaming youth', it
was F. Scott Fitzgerald who lit the fire. His semi-autobiographical first
novel, This Side of Paradise, became an instant best-seller and established
an image of seemingly carefree, party-mad young men and women out to create
a new morality for a new, post-war America. It traces the early life of
Amory Blaine from the end of prep school through Princeton to the start of
an uncertain career in New York City. This volume has an exquisitely
designed bonded-leather binding, with distinctive gilt edging and a silk-
ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, this book offers
hours of pleasure to readers young and old and is an indispensable
cornerstone for any home library.
