Illustrated Lives: F. Scott Fitzgerald (Penguin Illustrated Lives S.) - Softcover
The life of F. Scott Fitzgerald reads like one of his own novels: a young man of great promise marries into wealth; his life seems golden but beneath the surface lie alcoholism, debt, insecurity and in Fitzgerald's case the mental instability of hisbeautiful faithless wife, Zelda. PENGUIN ILLUSTRATED LIVES is a new series of photographic biographies that allows you to step into the world of your favourite writers. Each title contains a brief text, integrated with over one hundred images, many in colour, allowing an immediate, intimate understanding of their life: their family, friends, home and work. Also included are particular visual treats such as first-edition covers, manuscript pages, letters and doodles.

Review:
"A beautifully designed new series ... scores of pictures with crisply related biography and commentary ... Look no further for the perfect literary stocking stuffer."
Synopsis:
"Penguin Illustrated Lives" is a series of photographic biographies that offers a fresh, intimate portrait of some of our favourite writers. An incisive, lively text is accompanied by over 100 evocative images, many in colour and some previously unpublished, which depict the author's world - family, friends and artistic circle together with original book jackets, letters and other ephemera. Scott Fitzgerald's life reads like one of his own stories: a young man of great promise marries into wealth, but beneath the golden surface lie alcoholism, debt, insecurity and in Fitzgerald's particular case the mental instablity of his beautiful, unconventional wife, Zelda. In the face of these sorrows, Fitzgerald wrote brilliant, diamond-sharp prose and in "The Great Gatsby" he captured for all time the sham of the American Dream.
