The Beautiful and Damned
The Beautiful and Damned is a 1922 novel by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set during the glamorous, high-society boom of the Jazz Age, the novel explores the slow, agonizing moral and financial decay of a wealthy young couple. Widely considered a semi-autobiographical reflection of Fitzgerald’s own tumultuous early life and marriage to Zelda Sayre, the book offers a cynical, sharp critique of wealth, idleness, ambition, and the hollow pursuit of the American Dream.
