Published in 1920, F. Scott Fitzgerald's first novel,
This Side of Paradise, became the novel that defined
an era and launched his literary career. This is the story
of Amory Blaine, "romantic egotist," and his journey from
prep school to Princeton to the First World War. This
dazzling chronicle of youth and the Jazz Age remains
bitingly relevant decades later.
The story of Amory Blaine's adolescence and undergraduate
days at Princeton, This Side of Paradise captures the
essence of an American generation struggling to define
itself in the aftermath of World War I and the destruction
of "the old order."
