Synopsis

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s debut novel of love and greed, now repackaged with a beautifully designed jacket by noted illustrator Malika Favre.

This Side of Paradise tells the story of Amory Blaine, the only child of wealthy parents, whose journey from adolescence to adulthood follows him from prep school through to Princeton University, where his literary talents flourish, in contrast to his academic failure. A sequence of love affairs with beautiful young women is fatally damaged by the collapse of his family’s fortune, and the novel ends with him poised to face the challenge of making his own way in the world.
