? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Scott Fitzgerald’s The Beautiful and Damned is a criminally underrated novella that explores the decadence of a fortune and the nature of love. The novel follows 1920s socialite Anthony Patch and his wife Gloria in their reckless pursuit of pleasure. Projecting the dispositions of his own marriage unto his characters, Fitzgerald crafts a raw and realistic relationship between the two main characters. Underneath the glittery and glamorous imagery, Fitzgerald buries a warning on how overindulgence can ruin us. The Beautiful and Damned is perfect for readers who enjoy classics that dive deep into themes of morality and the roaring ‘20s, you can buy it now in Diwan or Amazon.
