Tells the story of Fitzgerald's sudden descent at age thirty nine from a life of success and glamor to one of emptiness and despair, and his determined recovery. This revealing collection of essays and letters renders the tale of a man whose personality still charms us all and whose reckless gaiety and genius made him a living symbol of the Jazz Age

SHORT STORIES. Rural Wisconsin was still a wilderness in these early 1920s stories by Glenway Wescott. The distances between farms and small towns seemed great in those days. So, too, was the struggle of social order and religion against poverty, nature, and a stubborn streak of lawlessness. But the real adventure in these stories is in Wescott's deep understanding of human nature. His characters may be tragic, heroic, comic, or inspiring but, if there is one theme here, it is the search for personal freedom

"The travel albums of photographer George Platt Lynes, publisher Monroe Wheeler, and writer Glenway Wescott are illuminating documents of the American expatriate years. Together, this extraordinary menage-a-trois spent the heady inter-war period frequenting Paris, Villefranche-sur-Mer, and other European cities, meeting up with such lively personalities as Thornton Wilder, Jean Cocteau, Katherine Anne Porter, Man Ray, Rene Crevel, and Christian Berard. Inspired and encouraged by Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, and Jane Heap, all three men went on to pursue vibrant careers in the arts. Platt Lynes became a celebrated photographer, beginning in 1931; Wheeler started the extraordinary small press, Harrison of Paris, in 1930, before commencing a thirty-year career at New York's Museum of Modern Art; and Wescott became a bestselling fiction writer, first in 1927, with several highly acclaimed novels. The photographs are accompanied by two new original texts that help to interpret this remarkable triangular relationship, and that provide a context for this virtual who's who of the 1920s and 1930s."--Jacket

Atene, 1942. Prima della guerra Nikolas Helianos era un editore e un borghese abbiente. Sensibile e illuminato è il padre amorevole di Leda e Alex e il consorte innamorato di Zoe, con cui cerca di sopravvivere alla guerra e all'occupazione nazista. Il loro ménage viene interrotto dall'ingresso letterale di un ufficiale tedesco. Ottuso e tirannico, il capitano Kalter sequestra la loro intimità, sistemandosi nella loro camera da letto, occupando per i pasti il loro salone, disponendo libri e sigari nel loro studio (LaFeltrinelli)
