Increasingly disillusioned by the rejection slips that studded the walls of his room and his on/off engagement to Zelda Sayre, Fitzgerald began his third revision of the novel that was to become "This Side of Paradise". The story of a young man`s painful sexual and intellectual awakening that echoes Fitzgerald`s own career, it is also a portrait of the lost generation that followed straight on from the First World War, "grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken" and wanting money and success more than anything else.

This is Scott Fitzgerald`s debut novel, written when he was twenty-four, appeared in 1920 and immediately established him as a leading literary figure in the brilliant and dangerous world of 1920s America. Its instant appeal could be compared to the success of The Catcher in the Rye thirty years later. The novel tells the story of a spoilt child in search of happiness. Pampered, wealthy, brilliant at school, Amory Blaine looks for the love of others but only finds himself. A short, sharp masterpiece with an intriguing religious undertow, this is also a touchingly autobiographical novel which reflects ominously on Fitzgerald`s own future.
