Excerpt from Flappers and Philosophers Online Book (From "The Offshore Pirate")
This unlikely story begins on a sea that was a blue dream, as colorful as blue–silk stockings, and beneath a sky as blue as the irises of children's eyes. From the western half of the sky the sun was shying little golden disks at the sea—if you gazed intently enough you could see them skip from wave tip to wave tip until they joined a broad collar of golden coin that was collecting half a mile out and would eventually be a dazzling sunset.
About F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an American novelist, playwright, and short-story writer widely regarded as one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. He is best known for his novels This Side of Paradise and The Great Gatsby, which dealt with immortalized themes such as love, ambition, money, and power. The Great Gatsby is considered a classic in American literature. Fitzgerald was a brilliant writer whose works combined romanticism with realism to explore themes such as class differences and personal identity. His stories often revolved around characters struggling against inner turmoil while trying to make sense of a rapidly changing world full of materialistic desires and social obstacles. His writing has profoundly influenced subsequent generations of writers who sought to understand the complexities of life during Fitzgerald's era. Find out more about F.
