F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940) was an American novelist and short story writer, widely regarded as one of the greatest authors of the 20th century. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, he is best known for The Great Gatsby (1925), a seminal work that captures the decadence and disillusionment of the Jazz Age.
Fitzgerald’s other notable works include This Side of Paradise, Tender Is the Night, and The Beautiful and Damned. His stories often explored themes of ambition, love, and the American Dream, reflecting his own turbulent life and struggles with fame and financial instability. Despite dying at just 44, his literary contributions have left an enduring legacy in American literature.
