Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in St Paul, Minnesota, and went to Princeton University which he left in 1917 to join the army. Fitzgerald was said to have epitomised the Jazz Age, an age inhabited by a generation he defined as 'grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken'. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their destructive relationship and her subsequent mental breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender is the Night and The Love of the Last Tycoon his last and unfinished work : six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940. After his death The New York Times said of him that 'He was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a "generation" ... he might have interpreted them and even guided them, as in their middle years they saw a different and nobler freedom threatened with destruction.' Edad recomendada: Adultos jóvenes. FITZGERALD FRANCIS SCOTT 24 de septiembre de 1896, Saint Paul - 21 de diciembre de 1940, Hollywood. Fitzgerald fue un novelista y escritor de relatos estadounidense, aclamado principalmente por su obra maestra El gran Gatsby. En 1920 publicó su primera novela: A este lado del paraíso, cuyo éxito le convirtió en la joven gran promesa dela literatura norteamericana. Con el dinero obtenido por esa novela se casó con Zelda Sayre, una joven de carácter exuberante e hija de un juez, y juntos se trasladaron a Francia. Su matrimonio fue una sucesión de peleas, borracheras e infidelidades. Se perjudicaban recíprocamente: ella acabó encerrada debido a sus problemas mentales, él terriblemente alcoholizado. Algunos expertos creen que Zelda inspiró la trama de El Gran Gatsby, otros aseguran que la musa fue Ginevra King, una joven que había roto el corazón de Fitzgerald cuando era más joven. Él mismo declaró que "La idea entera de Gatsby versa en torno a la injusticia que supone que un hombre joven y pobre no pueda casarse con una chica adinerada". En cualquier caso, independientemente de cuál fue la inspiración, el resultado es una de las más grandes novelas del siglo XX.
