Bevor der Dichter Wolfgang Borchert 1947 starb, schrieb er als chronisch kranker Kriegsheimkehrer: "Jetzt ist unser Gesang der Jazz. Der erregte hektische Jazz ist unsere Musik... Denn unser Herz und unser Hirn haben denselben heißkalten Rhythmus: den erregten, verrückten und hektischen, den hemmungslosen... Und so sind die Nächte, die mädchenklirrenden Nächte: wie Jazz: heiß und hektisch. Erregt... Wer schreibt für uns eine neue Harmonielehre? Wir brauchen keine wohltemperierten Klaviere mehr.

Have you ever wondered why the glittering promise of the American Dream so often leads to tragedy? This compelling collection brings together two of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most celebrated works, The Great Gatsby and This Side of Paradise, offering a vivid portrait of ambition, love, and disillusionment in the Jazz Age.

Have you ever wondered why the relentless pursuit of the American Dream can lead to the destruction of the soul? Jay Gatsby has everything—wealth, power, and a name surrounded by mystery. Yet he lacks the one thing he wants most: the love of Daisy Buchanan, a woman who represents a past he cannot release. Set amid the glittering chaos of the Roaring Twenties, The Great Gatsby is F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece of ambition, obsession, class, and disillusionment.

Gustav Meyrinks Feder entströmt eine außergewöhnliche Prosa, die mit facettenreichem und sehr phantasievollem Ausdruck gesegnet ist. Innerhalb der Reihe "Phantastische Geschichten" präsentieren sich irrationale, ambivalente, groteske Situationen, Handlungen und Charaktere im Gewand der Alltäglichkeit, so dass eine fast greifbare Spannung entsteht, die sich als Nerven kitzelnder, Bewusstsein stimulierender und Fantasie anregender transzendentaler literarischer Zustand entpuppt, innerhalb dessen man gemütliche Stunden des Genusses erleben bzw. verstreichen lassen kann.

This audiobook collection contains some of Fitzgerald’s best stories from the Roaring '20s.

After the success of This Side of Paradise, it was F. Scott Fitzgerald’s popular short fiction that helped maintain the luxury and celebrity to which he and his wife, Zelda, had grown accustomed. Reflections of that blithe and glittering lifestyle, these eleven stories reveal a man both beguiled by and critical of the American postwar generation he defined. Fitzgerald’s tales capture the inauguration of the age in all its hysteria, revelry, and tragedy - the same world he would later revisit in his renowned The Great Gatsby.

The collection Tales of the Jazz Age includes the short stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Jelly-Bean ; May Day ; Porcelain and Pink ; Tarquin of Cheapside ; Oh Russet Witch! ; The Lees of Happiness ; Mr. Icky ; Jemina, The Mountain Girl.

Tales of the Jazz Age is a delightful, sobering, thought-provoking, and downright curious collection of 11 of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short stories, published after his first two novels - This Side of Paradise (1920) and The Beautiful and Damned (1922) - but before The Great Gatsby (1925).

Written in a decade when American music and literature were exploding in new directions, F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tales of the Jazz Age (1922) is a collection of 11 short stories that capture the spirit of the times. The author of The Great Gatsby divided this collection into three parts: My Last Flappers, Fantasies, and Unclassified Masterpieces. Among these beloved short works is the classic "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", which describes a man who grows younger in appearance as he ages.

Tales of the Jazz Age is a collection of short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald, one of the most well-known Jazz Age writers whose works have stood the test of time. These stories are separated into several themes, ranging from the fantastical to the more realistic.

Queer People: A Madcap Jazz Age Satire of Hollywood’s Scandalous Eccentrics said the quiet part out loud: the studio system ran on ambition, spin, and scandal, and everyone was in on the game. Carroll & Garrett Graham, who actually lived inside that machine, deliver a cast of actors, fixers, and publicity sharks scrambling through a town where fame is a hustle and morality is optional.

"The Jelly Bean", "The Camel's Back", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "Mayday", and "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" comprise this collection of humorous, strange, and sometimes terrifying tales.

The Great Gatsby takes us to New York in the 1920s, where jazz can be heard everywhere, underground alcohol trade flourishes, and the mafia rules the city. It is a time of great crisis and equally great profits. A time when it was easiest to become somebody in a short period after previously being nobody. Such a person was Jay Gatsby, dreaming of great wealth and power. To fulfill these dreams, he gets involved in the gears of the criminal underworld and high finance.
