Scott Fitzgerald into literary stardom, instantly defining the post-World War I \"Lost Generation.\" Published when Fitzgerald was just 23 years old, the book captured the raw disillusionment, changing sexual mores, and restless ambition of American youth at the dawn of the Roaring Twenties. It was a massive commercial success that famously gave him the financial stability to finally marry his muse, Zelda Sayre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"attachment-container search-images\"\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe novel operates as a \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"24\"\u003ebildungsroman\u003c\/i\u003e (a coming-of-age story), tracking the life of \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"84\"\u003eAmory Blaine\u003c\/b\u003e from his privileged childhood through his years at Princeton University, his service overseas in World War I, and his subsequent financial and romantic ruins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eAmory is a handsome, highly intelligent, but intensely conceited and superficial young midwesterner.
