Features: Tender Is the Night, published in 1934, is the last full-length novel completed by Fitzgerald during his lifetime. It depicts the pursuit of a talented but impoverished young man after a dreamlike ideal and his eventual failure and descent into disillusionment. The novel is set in the European continent, a place familiar to the author, spanning from 1917 to 1930, but it still portrays the social scene of America's "Jazz Age." Tender Is the Night primarily introduces strong nostalgia, regret, lost hope, shattered illusions, and personality fragmentation. Tender Is the Night is a highly autobiographical novel, exploring a process of emotional and spiritual collapse that closely resembles the author's own experiences.
