Young midwesterner Amory Blaine is certain he is destined for greatness. On his quest, he enrolls in Princeton, finds an ephemeral first love, fulfills his duty in war, and becomes enraptured by debutante Rosalind Connage, who defines all that Amory has desired and everything he could lose. As conventions, romance, and money fail him, Amory’s restless pursuit of enlightenment takes him down a dark path, but closer to understanding himself and his place in the world.

F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote This Side of Paradise in the hopes of attaining celebrity and to win back the spirited Zelda Sayre. He achieved both—becoming an overnight literary success and marrying Zelda barely a week after publication.

AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature’s most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.

O livro expõe o pessimismo, o hedonismo e a falta de perspectiva que envolviam a juventude dos anos vinte. Muitas das ideias, angústias e contradições do protagonista se voltam a questões experimentadas por muitas pessoas, por isso é fácil se identificar com o que ele está passando. Tenho que admitir que o livro se torna arrastado em muitas passagens, mas isso não apaga seus pontos positivos.
