Publisher Description

This Side of Paradise is the debut novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald and his breakthrough.

Published in 1920, the book examines the lives and morality of post-World War I youth.

Its protagonist, Amory Blaine, is an attractive Princeton University student who dabbles in literature.

The novel explores the theme of love warped by greed and status-seeking.

Written in an adventurously mixed style, the book's success was driven in part by the enthusiasm of reviewers.
