Francis Scott Fitzgerald

    24. září 1896 – 21. prosinec 1940

    Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald byl americký spisovatel, jehož díla jsou často spojována s "jazzovým věkem", érou, kterou údajně sám pojmenoval. Je považován za jednoho z nejvýznamnějších spisovatelů dvacátého století, jehož tvorba se dotýká témat mládí, zoufalství a stáří. Fitzgeraldovy prózy zachycují náladu "ztracené generace" Američanů, kteří dospívali během první světové války. Jeho styl evokuje ducha doby a zkoumá složitost lidských tužeb a zklamání.
