Scott Fitzgerald, published in 1920. Inspired by a line from Rupert Brookes poem Tiare Tahiti, this novel delves into the lives and moral dilemmas faced by the disenchanted youth of the post-World War I era. At its center is Amory Blaine, a charming and privileged Princeton University student who explores the world of literature while navigating a series of tumultuous romances that ultimately lead him to a profound disillusionment. Fitzgeralds later works would continue to explore the themes of love distorted by greed and the relentless pursuit of status.
