Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
"I Would Die for You" is the last surviving and unpublished collection of short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Edited by Anne Margaret Daniel, the simplified Chinese version is now available for the first time.
The book contains eighteen short stories, including short stories and film scripts. Some of them were truly lost and have only reappeared in recent years. But in a way, all the stories have been lost: lost in Fitzgerald's difficult situation in the mid-1930s; lost in the editor's misunderstanding and rejection at the time, so that readers have no chance to see them. In this book, readers will see Fitzgerald's involvement in controversial topics, such as the young people he wrote about, who are bolder and more uninhibited than young people in reality. Moreover, even when he was in urgent need of money and reviews, Fitzgerald no longer catered to the editor's needs, refused to make changes, and instead put his works on ice.
For an entire generation, readers and editors expected the standard romance from him. He wanted to "dig a new well, rediscover a vein of water," and unfortunately few appreciated his efforts. Rather than showing "a sad young man" aging and confined to a golden age he had just created, these stories show how he was at the forefront of modern literature, no matter how complex and experimental its development might be.
Editor's Recommendation:
★ The last 18 surviving works of Fitzgerald, author of "The Great Gatsby", are published for the first time in the world after being lost for nearly a hundred years.
★ Vinyl version of Fitzgerald, from side A to side B of Modern Times, people go from dreaming with hope in the impetuous and illusory era to struggling soberly in loss.
★ "The Great Gatsby" is a dream country - there is a hero called "Gatsby" in everyone's body.
This is a waking country - uncovering the flashy world and falling into the hard life.
★ Fitzgerald abandoned the label of "youth writer" and turned to realism, creating a "perfect work" that returned to zero in art.
★ This treasure trove of hidden stories is not suitable for the 1930s, but it is a blessing for the 21st century.
★ 18 short stories, 18 mirror images, each one is Fitzgerald, and each one is you.
★ Strange things to say in the 20th century: "Is life worth living?", "Celebrities smoking marijuana", "Is it permissible to cheat on a married couple?"...
★ 40 Fitzgerald's precious manuscripts, life photos, correspondence and other archival images, creative highlights + unpublished posthumous works, a semi-autobiographical collection, seeing the words is like seeing the person. ——Foreign media comments: The most precious collection of Fitzgerald's works!
★ Novel design, using the main visual of the characters, intuitively capturing the image of Daisy, the representative of the American Dream, and the writer’s last ten years. It combines classicism and fashion, a unique complete work of Fitzgerald.
★ Reading Fitzgerald, "I Would Die for You" and "The Great Gatsby" are enough.
