Francis Scott Fitzgerald
Francis Scott Fitzgerald (Saint Paul, 1896 - Hollywood, 1940). Considerado uno de los más importantes escritores estadounidenses del siglo xx y portavoz de la «Generación Perdida». Su obra refleja el desencanto de los privilegiados jóvenes de su generación, aquellos norteamericanos nacidos en la última década del siglo xix, a quienes les tocó madurar durante la Primera Guerra Mundial y que arrastraban su lasitud entre el jazz y la ginebra. Sus obras están escritas con un estilo elegante y situadas en fascinantes decorados. Destacan A este lado del paraíso (1920), Suave es la noche (1934) y, por supuesto, El gran Gatsby (1925).

Chapter 1
The extraordinary thing is not that people in a lifetime turn out worse or better than we had prophesied; particularly in America that is to be expected. The extraordinary thing is how people keep their levels, fulfill their promises, seem actually buoyed up by an inevitable destiny.
One of my conceits is that no one has ever disappointed me since I turned eighteen and could tell a real quality from a gift for sleight of hand, and even many of the merely showy people in my past seem to go on being blatantly and successfully showy to the end.

At the time numerous men agreed with him.
She was just faintly tall, with fine, rather large features, eyes with such an expanse of blue in them that you were really aware of it whenever you looked at her, and a good deal of thick blond hair—arresting and bright. Her mother and father did not know very much about the new world they had commandeered so Emily had to learn everything for herself, and she became involved in various situations and some of the first bloom wore off.
