Tender Is The Night

Description :

"F. Scott Fitzgerald's superbly acute view of the psychological and spiritual malaise of modern life Dick Diver's marriage with Nicole leads him from joy to growing confusion and finally isolation - when he is ultimately sucked into his wife's schizophrenia. The Divers' magnificent but leisurely way of life on the Riviera, their infidelities and dangerous friendships, and Dick's excessive drinking underpin Fitzgerald's most personal work - for as he wrote Tender is the Night, Fitzgerald was also suffering the tragedies of his wife's nervous breakdown and his own physical deterioration. The most comprehensive paperback edition available, with introduction, notes, text summary, selected criticism and chronology of Fitzgerald's life and times."
