F. Scott Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American novelist and short story writer, considered a chronicler of the Jazz Age. He is renowned for his portrayals of the extravagant lifestyles of the wealthy in the 1920s and his explorations of the American Dream. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, to a well-to-do family, Fitzgerald's privileged background provided rich material for his writing. He attended Princeton University but left before graduating to serve in the military during World War I. After the war, he pursued writing and quickly gained recognition. His masterpiece, "The Great Gatsby," is a classic of American literature. It tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a millionaire who strives to recapture a past love, Daisy Buchanan, and powerfully reflects the prosperity and superficiality of the 1920s, as well as the disillusionment of the American Dream. The novel's elegant prose, masterful storytelling, and insightful character psychology have secured its enduring place in literary history. Beyond "The Great Gatsby," Fitzgerald's significant works include "Tender Is the Night" and numerous acclaimed short stories. His impact on subsequent generations of writers is undeniable, and his work offers profound insight into the changing social landscape and the spiritual lives of Americans during a pivotal era. His life, though tragically short, remains a subject of enduring fascination and contemplation.
