Description: F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Beautiful and Damned is a novel that does not break with the American author's tradition of depicting the fake world and decaying morals of the upper-class. Set in New York City, the book tells the story of Anthony Patch, a socialite who thinks of himself as a refined aesthete. He marries the impressively beautiful Gloria and they both lead a life of luxury and pleasure, travelling from one place to another and spending money irresponsibly while waiting to inherit the great fortune of Anthony's grandfather.
