F Scott Fitzgerald / Tender is the Night 1st Edition 1934

Description: Tender is the Night Author: Fitzgerald, F. Scott Title: Tender is the Night Publication: New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1934 Edition: First edition Description: First printing, with pages 401-408 poorly opened, but this only affects the blank margins. Bound in publisher's ribbed green cloth, front cover bordered in blind, spine lettered in gilt, fore edge untrimmed. The bare minimum of rubbing to extremities. An excellent copy with none of the foxing or browning that is often associated with this title.Nearing the end of his life, Fitzgerald contemplates marriage, success, and the emotional toll that mental health problems can take on a couple. This haunting novel set in the 1920s follows Dick and Nicole Driver's troubled marriage, and the damage imposed by his affair with a young actress. These same troubles were echoed in Fitzgerald's own family; his wife Zelda, having struggled her whole life with depression, had been placed long-term in a sanitarium, while Fitzgerald battled alcoholism and strove to re-launch his career in Hollywood. Unbeknownst to the author, this self-reflecting book would be the last of his lifetime.Bruccoli A15.I.a.
