The collection includes nineteen short stories by the famous American writer Francis Scott Fitzgerald from three cycles: "Madmen and Philosophers," "Tales of the Jazz Age" and "Ah, this unbearable youth." All texts are given in translations by S.Yu. Afonkin. At the end of the book are the dates of the appearance of stories in American magazines, the names of these magazines, as well as American artists who made illustrations for the stories. These drawings by twelve different masters in the book provide a glimpse of Fitzgerald's heroes through the eyes of their contemporaries.
