The Beautiful and Damned, F. Scott Fitzgeralds second novel, tells the story of Anthony Patch, a 1920s socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoons fortune. Anthony and his wife Gloria are young and gorgeous, rich and leisured, and dedicate their lives to the reckless pursuit of happiness. But this intimate story turns tragic, as their marriage disintegrates under the weight of their expectations, dissipation, jealousy and aimlessness.

Fitzgerald skilfully portrays the east-coast elite as the Jazz Age begins its ascent, engulfing all classes into what will soon be known as Cafe Society. As with all of Fitzgeralds novels, it is a brilliant character study written in breathtaking prose.
