This elegant Easton Press edition collects F. Scott Fitzgerald’s finest short stories, including his masterpiece “Babylon Revisited,” a poignant tale of loss, redemption, and the fleeting excesses of the Jazz Age. Bound in rich, full leather with 22-karat gold embellishments and archival-quality paper, this volume is a timeless tribute to Fitzgerald’s literary genius.
The titular story follows Charlie Wales, a reformed alcoholic returning to Paris in the sobering wake of the 1929 crash, desperate to reclaim custody of his daughter from disapproving relatives. Haunted by the ghosts of his decadent past, the narrative crystallizes Fitzgerald’s themes of ruin and regret with devastating clarity. Additional classics like “The Diamond as Big as the Ritz” (a satirical fable of American greed) and “Winter Dreams” (a precursor to The Great Gatsby) showcase his razor-sharp prose and gift for social critique.
Easton Press’s luxurious edition—often featuring gilt-edged pages, a silk ribbon marker, and a satin-moiré endpaper design—elevates these quintessential American stories into a collector’s heirloom. A must-have for devotees of Fitzgerald, the Lost Generation, or finely crafted books.
