Scott Fitzgerald’s debut novel. Published in 1920 and taking its title from a line of Rupert Brooke's poem Tiare Tahiti, the book examines the lives and morality of post–World War I youth. Its protagonist, Amory Blaine, is clearly based on Fitzgerald. Both are from the Midwest, attended Princeton, served in the army, and had a failed romance with a debutante. The novel explores the theme of love warped by greed and status seeking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is limited to 1,000 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Engage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051936694512,"sku":"9781772263190","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781772263190_p0.jpg?v=1763708416","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781772263190","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
