The Rich Boy and Other Stories (755564)

[html]In the proposed collection, the best novellas by the well-known American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896—1940) from such author’s collections as “Flappers and Philosophers”, “Tales of the Jazz Age”, “All the Sad Young Men” and “Taps at Reveille” are presented. The fate of the heroes of these works turns out in different ways. But describing the life of each of them the author asserts that: whatever the epoch a man lives in, the moral values remain invariable — domestic warmth, charity, sincerity, the ability of prizing everything one owns always promise every prospect of happiness. Whereas, false pride, arrogance, impertinence doom us to fruitless search for happy fate.[/html]
