Tales of the Jazz Age is a collection of short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald, one of the most well-known Jazz Age writers whose works have stood the test of time. These stories are separated into several themes, ranging from the fantastical to the more realistic.

Written in a decade when American music and literature were exploding in new directions, F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tales of the Jazz Age (1922) is a collection of 11 short stories that capture the spirit of the times. The author of The Great Gatsby divided this collection into three parts: My Last Flappers, Fantasies, and Unclassified Masterpieces. Among these beloved short works is the classic "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", which describes a man who grows younger in appearance as he ages.

After the success of This Side of Paradise, it was F. Scott Fitzgerald’s popular short fiction that helped maintain the luxury and celebrity to which he and his wife, Zelda, had grown accustomed. Reflections of that blithe and glittering lifestyle, these eleven stories reveal a man both beguiled by and critical of the American postwar generation he defined. Fitzgerald’s tales capture the inauguration of the age in all its hysteria, revelry, and tragedy - the same world he would later revisit in his renowned The Great Gatsby.

"The Jelly Bean", "The Camel's Back", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "Mayday", and "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" comprise this collection of humorous, strange, and sometimes terrifying tales.

This audiobook collection contains some of Fitzgerald’s best stories from the Roaring '20s. Included on the audio are the classics "The Jelly-Bean", "The Camel's Back", "May Day", "Porcelain and Pink", "The Diamond as Big as The Ritz", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "Tarquin of Cheapside", "O Russet Witch!", "The Lees of Happiness", "Mr. Icky", and "Jemina".

"Chiedi una canzone, New York! E se Louie non è capace di suonarla, chiudiamo la baracca e ce ne torniamo a casa! Hai trenta minuti per tirare su il telefono e chiamare Louie l'Infallibile!": questa la sfida che tiene l'America dell'età del jazz avvinta al celebre programma radiofonico "Louie l'Infallibile". Ma cosa c'è nel cuore della sua stella, Louie Palmer, un giovane pianista italoamericano in grado di suonare a memoria qualsiasi canzone gli venga richiesta? Il suo talento è davvero invincibile?

Un racconto tenero e malinconico che parla d'amore e di amicizia, messi alla prova da una lunga malattia. Cornice musicale: "Rapsodia in blu" di George Gershwin.

Tales of the Jazz Age is a delightful, sobering, thought-provoking, and downright curious collection of 11 of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short stories, published after his first two novels - This Side of Paradise (1920) and The Beautiful and Damned (1922) - but before The Great Gatsby (1925).

A private investigator - a stranger in a strange land - searches for a missing girl in Tokyo. Two brothers have a lifelong pact. But what happens when a deal goes wrong? A homeless man gives up his drug and alcohol-fueled life. But, is the good life all it's supposed to be? Stopped by police one night, a group of friends runs into trouble. Soon, one of them must confront his past.

Es war eine wilde Zeit, das sogenannte "Jazz Age". F. Scott Fitzgerald, dessen Roman "The Great Gatsby" die unerreichte Beschreibung dieser Epoche darstellt, schrieb auch Kurzgeschichten. In seiner Sammlung "Geschichten aus der Jazz-Ära" finden sich neben "Ein Diamant so groß wie das Ritz" auch der mit Brad Pitt verfilmte Klassiker "Der seltsame Fall des Benjamin Button" und die Western-Parodie "Jemina, das Mädchen aus den Bergen". Gute Unterhaltung aus den Roaring Twenties!
