F Scott Fitzgerald is one of the most outstanding American writers in the 20th century. He sang a gorgeous elegy for the Jazz Age with the temperament of a poet and a dreamer. In just 44 years of life, he has experienced ups and downs, and he has seen the world in Vanity Fair. At the end of the 20th century, American academic authorities selected 65,438+000 best novels in the history of British literature in the past 100 years. The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night, two novels that condensed Fitzgerald's extraordinary talents, were both on the list, with the former ranking second.
