F. Scott Fitzgerald
**F. Scott Fitzgerald** (1896–1940) est l’un des plus grands écrivains américains du XXe siècle, figure emblématique de la **Lost Generation** et chroniqueur inégalé de l’Âge du Jazz. Né dans le Minnesota, il étudie à Princeton avant de s’installer à New York, où il rencontre Zelda Sayre, qui deviendra sa muse et son épouse. Leur vie tumultueuse, marquée par l’excès, l’alcool et les dettes, inspire une grande partie de son œuvre. Fitzgerald publie *The Beautiful and Damned* en 1922, roman semi-autobiographique qui explore la décadence de la jeunesse riche et désœuvrée. Il est aussi l’auteur de chefs-d’œuvre comme *Gatsby le Magnifique* (1925) et *Tendre est la nuit* (1934), où il mêle lyrisme et mélancolie pour peindre une Amérique en quête de sens.
