About the Author
F. Scott Fitzgerald was an American novelist and short-story writer who became the defining voice of the Jazz Age. Best known for his masterpiece "The Great Gatsby," he captured the glamour and disillusionment of 1920s America with elegant prose and complex characters. Fitzgerald was famous for his observations on wealth and ambition, famously stating that "the rich are different from you and me." His tragic life, marked by struggle and early death at forty-four, mirrored the decline of his characters.
