Beschreibung

In "My Generation," Francis Scott Fitzgerald captures the ethos of the Jazz Age with a compelling narrative that intertwines the exuberance and disillusionment experienced by American youth during the 1920s. Employing a vibrant yet poignant prose style, Fitzgerald delves into themes of identity, ambition, and societal expectations, reflecting the struggles and aspirations of a generation caught between the extravagance of the Roaring Twenties and the looming shadows of the Great Depression. The work is steeped in symbolism and rich characterization, mirroring the tension inherent in the social transformations of the time. Fitzgerald, an emblematic figure of the Lost Generation, draws inspiration from his own turbulent life experiences and the cultural upheavals surrounding him. His firsthand encounters with the elite social circles and personal hardships illuminate the text, revealing a profound understanding of the complexities faced by young adults in a rapidly changing America. As a chronicler of the Jazz Age, Fitzgerald's keen observations, combined with his knack for lyrical storytelling, embolden the themes of aspiration and despair that permeate this work. This illuminating piece is recommended for readers who seek to explore the intersection of personal identity and cultural zeitgeist during one of America's most dynamic periods. Fitzgerald's perceptive insights and stylistic mastery offer not just a reflection of a specific generation, but timeless thoughts on the quest for meaning amidst societal chaos.

    Notes from Underground is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Notes is considered by many to be the first existentialist novel. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man) who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. The first part of the story is told in monologue form or the underground man's diary, and attacks emerging Western philosophy, especially Nikolay Chernyshevsky's What Is to Be Done?. The second part of the book is called "Àpropos of the Wet Snow," and describes certain events that, it seems, are destroying and sometimes renewing the underground man, who acts as a first person, unreliable narrator. 
     
    Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, and journalist.

His most acclaimed novels include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880).
