Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) is one of the greatest American novelists of the 20th century and the author of the classics 'Tender is the Night' and 'The Great Gatsby', with the latter having been made into a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan.Skillfully capturing the prosperity of post-World War One America, his writing helped illustrate the 1920s Jazz Age that he and his wife Zelda Fitzgerald were at the centre of.
