Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896 (St. Paul, USA) and died on December 21, 1940 (Hollywood, USA). F. Scott Fitzgerald lived life at a fast pace, as if he already anticipated the brevity of his existence. The passion for writing shaped his personality from an early age, and his first stories were published in a school magazine. During World War I, he joined the Army but continued to write articles for magazines and lyrics for songs, also attempting, unsuccessfully, to publish his first novel, "The Romantic Egoist" (1917). After the war, Fitzgerald worked in advertising, an experience that sharpened the jaded and cynical vision he would convey in his novels.
