Tender is the Night
Francis Scott Fitzgerald
-
Anotace
While holidaying at a villa on the French Riviera, Dick and Nicole Diver, a wealthy American couple, meet the young film star Rosemary Hoyt. Her arrival causes a stir in their social circle and exposes the cracks in their fragile marriage. As their relationship unravels, glimpses of their troubled past emerge, and a series of disturbing events unfolds. Peopled by an unforgettable cast of aristocrats and high-fliers, Tender Is the Night is at once a scathing critique of the materialism and hypocrisy of the Roaring Twenties and a poignant and sensitive account of personal tragedy and disillusionment.
Review
He was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a generation. * The New York Times * Gatsby was a tour de force, but this is a confession of faith. -- Fitzgerald comment on Tender is the Night
