The Beautiful and Damned - F. Scott Fitzgerald

This literary classic offers a vivid depiction of life amid the glitter of Jazz Age New York, of reckless, near-scandalous public behavior, nights of drunken revelry, and days darkened by the ever-present shadow of insurmountable debt. \nWe know the old adage about judging books by their covers, but how could you not when the covers are as lovely as these? --Vogue (U.K.) \nThe jacket design by Coralie Bickford-Smith reflects the elegance and glamour of the Art Deco period paired with the modern aesthetic of mechanical repetition. Each jacket comes with a detachable bookmark.\n \nAnthony and Gloria are the essence of Jazz Age glamour. A brilliant and magnetic couple, they fling themselves at life with an energy that is thrilling. New York is a playground where they dance and drink for days on end. Their marriage is a passionate theatrical performance; they are young, rich, alive and lovely and they intend to inherit the earth. But as money becomes tight, their marriage becomes impossible. And with their inheritance still distant, Anthony and Gloria must grow up and face reality; they may be beautiful but they are also damned.\n
