A beautifully written novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set on the French Riviera and in various parts of Europe during the 1920s, the story follows the charismatic psychiatrist Dick Diver and his wealthy wife Nicole. At first, their lives appear glamorous and idyllic, but beneath the surface lie emotional struggles, personal sacrifices, and the gradual unraveling of a marriage.

Drawing on Fitzgerald's own experiences, the novel explores love, ambition, mental illness, wealth, identity, and the decline of the American Dream. It is widely admired for its lyrical prose, psychological depth, and poignant portrayal of human vulnerability.

Goldman Arnold is typically the writer of an introduction, commentary, or editorial material in some editions, while the novel itself is authored by Fitzgerald.
