First published in 1922, The Beautiful and the Damned is the second novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Embellished with the author's lyrical prose, it tells the story of Harvard-educated, aspiring aesthete Anthony Patch and his beautiful wife, Gloria. As they await the inheritance of his grandfather's fortune, their reckless marriage sways under the influence of alcohol and avarice. It explores and portrays New York cafe society and the American Eastern elite during the Jazz Age before and after "The Great War" and in the early 1920's.
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was an American writer of novels and short stories, whose works have been seen as evocative of the Jazz Age. He is regarded as one of the greatest twentieth century writers. Fitzgerald was of the self-styled "Lost Generation," Americans born in the 1890s who came of age during World War I. He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth, despair, and age.

Born into rich families, Anthony and Gloria Patch lead a comfortable life in 1920s New York.
Shortly their luxurious lifestyle and Anthony´s lack of motivation to work a job for more than a couple of months causes them financial difficulty. Soon they find themselves reliant on Anthony´s inheritance, which seems increasingly improbable as the relationship with his grandfather deteriorates even more. Discontent with their situation, the couple descends into alcoholism.
In my opinion this book was very interesting. The characters are supposed to be unlikeable and make questionable decisions. They don´t lack in complexity. Fitzgerald´s writing is also very beautiful and descriptive.
