This Side of Paradise
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
“A generation that grew up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, and all faiths in man shaken.”
Follow the brilliant and ego-driven Amory Blaine as he navigates the glittering halls of Princeton and the disillusionment of post-war New York. In a society rapidly shifting toward Jazz Age excess, one young man must discover what remains after every romantic illusion is shattered.
