F. Scott Fitzgerald
Three thought-provoking stories from a great American writer. One of ten pocket size paperbacks from Macmillan Collector's Library celebrating the art of the short story.
F. Scott Fitzgerald deftly chronicles heartbreak, astonishment, and romance in these three stories, where fortunes can change in an instant and couples break apart, only to be reunited again. "The Bridal Party" is set in 1930s Paris. Mike, a young American, reluctantly attends the wedding festivities of Caroline, the woman he is still in love with. Will she change her mind when she learns that Mike has now come into money? Over in Baltimore, a couple are taken back as they realise there is something bizarre about their newborn baby. "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" tells a life story like no other. And "Love in the Night" sketches the whirlwind love story between a young man from a wealthy Russian family, and the older married woman who he briefly meets and will never quite forget.
An accomplished novelist and short story writer, renowned for his portraits of American society during the Jazz Age, these tales exemplify F. Scott Fitzgerald's talent.
This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector's Library's 10th anniversary. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Rabindranath Tagore.
