The Beautiful and Damned
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Adorned with the author's lyrical prose, is the story of Harvard's educated, novice Aeschet Anthony Patch and his beautiful wife Gloria. While awaiting the inheritance of their grandfather's wealth, their reckless marriage is rocked by alcohol poisoning and greed. With a devastating look at New York's new wealth and nightlife, as well as the devastating effects of the wild atmosphere, Beautiful and Cursed grew up to be one of Fitzgerzld's most experienced novels. As a classic, the difference continues to this day.
