Tender is the Night

Resumen del libro

While holidaying at a villa on the French Riviera, Dick and Nicole Diver, a wealthy American couple, meet the young film star Rosemary Hoyt. Her arrival causes a stir in their social circle and exposes the cracks in their fragile marriage. As their relationship unravels, the glimpses of their troubled past emerge, and a series of disturbing events unfolds.

Peopled by an unforgettable cast of aristocrats and high-fliers, Tender is the Night is at once a scathing critique of the materialism and hypocrisy of the Roaring Twenties and a poignant and sensitive account of personal tragedy and disillusionment.

Biografía del autor

Francis Scott Fitzgerald (Saint Paul, 1896 - Hollywood, 1940). Considerado uno de los más importantes escritores estadounidenses del siglo xx y portavoz de la Generación Perdida . Su obra refleja el desencanto de los privilegiados jóvenes de su generación, aquellos norteamericanos nacidos en la última década del siglo xix, a quienes les tocó madurar durante la Primera Guerra Mundial y que arrastraban su lasitud entre el jazz y la ginebra. Sus obras están escritas con un estilo elegante y situadas en fascinantes decorados. Destacan A este lado del paraíso (1920), Suave es la noche (1934) y, por supuesto, El gran Gatsby (1925).
