Summary

The "Collected Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald" presents a remarkable compilation of 45 short stories and novels that vividly encapsulate the Jazz Age and its complex interplay of wealth, identity, and desolation. With Fitzgerald's signature prose, readers are immersed in narratives that blend lyrical beauty with piercing social critique. Thematically, his works grapple with the American Dream's allure and its inevitable disillusionment, offering a panoramic view of characters who navigate the glitz of 1920s America, only to confront deeper existential crises. The collection is a testament to Fitzgerald's prowess in capturing the zeitgeist of his time through innovative narrative structures and a keen eye for detail. F. Scott Fitzgerald, a luminary of American literature, emerged from a background steeped in the complexities of privilege and aspiration. His own experiences as a member of the Lost Generation, along with his tumultuous marriage to Zelda Sayre, profoundly informed his writing. Fitzgerald's keen observations of societal excess and personal yearning render his work so resonant, allowing readers to explore both the glittering surface and the dark undercurrents of early 20th-century America. This comprehensive collection is highly recommended for readers seeking a deeper understanding of Fitzgerald'Äôs literary genius. It not only showcases his stylistic evolution but also invites reflection on timeless themes that resonate with contemporary audiences. Engage with these rich narratives to uncover the poignant explorations of love, ambition, and the elusive promise of the American Dream.

    In 1840s St. Petersburg the ageing copyist Makar Dievushkin is, with various degrees of subtlety, trying to woo Barbara Dobroselova, a young woman who has had a swift fall in fortunes. Told in alternating letters to each other, their past stories and current hopes play out in raw and personal detail, as the daily realities of an uncaring and expensive town take hold.
    Poor Folk was Fyodor Dostoevsky's first novel and was written to try and cover his escalating debts from his expensive lifestyle and gambling addiction. Luckily for Dostoevsky, it was an immediate success when it was published in the St. Petersburg Collection, and the accolades from critics such as Belinsky and Herzen propelled him into the high echelons of Russian literary society. This edition is the 1915 translation by C. J. Hogarth.
