This Side of Paradise - F. Scott Fitzgerald - Book 1, Part 2 Title: This Side of Paradise Overview: This Side of Paradise is the debut novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, published in 1920. The book examines the lives and morality of carefree American youth at the dawn of the Jazz Age. Its protagonist Amory Blaine is an attractive middle-class student at Princeton University who dabbles in literature and engages in a series of romances with flappers. The novel explores the theme of love warped by greed and status-seeking and takes its title from a line of Rupert Brooke's poem Tiare Tahiti. Within months of its publication, This Side of Paradise became a cultural sensation in the United States, and reviewers hailed the work as the best novel of the decade. The book went through twelve printings and sold 49,075 copies. The novel became especially popular among college students, and the national press depicted its boyish author as the standard-bearer for "youth in revolt". Overnight, the novel's author F. Scott Fitzgerald became a household name. Fitzgerald's newfound fame enabled him to earn much higher rates for his short stories, and his increased financial prospects persuaded his reluctant fiancée Zelda Sayre to marry him. With his debut novel, Fitzgerald became the first writer to turn the national spotlight upon the so-called Jazz Age generation. In contrast to the older Lost Generation to which Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway belonged, the Jazz Age generation were those younger Americans who had been adolescents during World War I and were largely untouched by the conflict's psychological and material horrors. Fitzgerald's novel riveted the nation's attention upon the leisure activities of their sons and daughters and sparked a societal debate over the younger generation's perceived immorality. As a consequence of this novel, Fitzgerald became forever regarded as "the outstanding aggressor in the little warfare which divided our middle classes into the twenties—warfare of moral emancipation against moral conceit, flaming youth against old guard". When he died in 1940, social conservatives rejoiced over his death. Published: 1920 Series: Novels #1 List: Great American Novel Collection Author: F.

The Art of Landscape Painting - Sir Alfred Edward East - Book 20 Title: The Art of Landscape Painting in Oil Colour Overview: Sketching from Nature, Equipment, Colour, Composition, Trees, Skies, Grass, Reflections, Distance -- chapters rich with timeless oil painting advice by a master landscape artist, Sir Alfred East. East had an exceptional ability to capture the individuality of trees, the quiver of their leaves against the sky. “If we look at a photograph, the edges of the trees do not give you the feeling that the tree is a living thing, they are marked with hard precision against the light, like a solid building, and yet at the same time if we see them in Nature we hear the whisper of their leaves and know that they live and breathe. To express that is a greater truth than the camera can reveal, and a higher form of realism.” East served as president of the Royal Society of British Artists from 1906 to 1913.

The Art of Money Getting - P. T. Barnum - Book 19 Title: The Art of Money Getting Overview: Although Barnum considered himself primarily a showman and his main goal was to put money in his own pocket, this little book, subtitled Golden Rules for Making Money does have a good deal of common sense about how to make money, and perhaps more importantly, how to keep it once you've made it. Of course, having been written nearly a century and a half ago, some of the advice may be a little dated, but it remains a very readable self-help book. Published: 1880 Series: The Art of ...

The Art of Faking - Riccardo Nobili - Book 18, Part 2 Title: The Gentle Art of Faking Overview: In analyzing the Faker one must dissociate him from the common forger; his semi-artistic vocation places him quite apart from the ordinary counterfeiter; he must be studied amid his proper surroundings, and with the correct local coloring, so to speak, and his critic may perchance find some slight modicum of excuse for him. Beside him stand the Imitator, from whom the faker often originates, the tempter who turns the clever imitator into a faker, and the middleman who lures on the unwary collector with plausible tales. It is not the object of this volume to study the Faker by himself but to trace his career through the ages in his appropriate surroundings, and compare the methods adopted by him at various periods of history, so far as they may be obtained.
