Couverture de The Cruise of the Rolling Junk par F. Scott Fitzgerald

Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur In an early series of journalistic pieces for an American magazine, Motor, F. Scott Fitzgerald described a journey he took with his wife Zelda from Connecticut to Alabama in a clapped out automobile which he called the 'Rolling Junk'. It is a piece of writing whose style, in free-ranging alternation of fact and fiction, has been compared to Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat. This book collects together the articles as one text, illustrated with the original illustrations of Fitzgerald, Zelda and the 'Junk'. Biographie de l'auteur F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940), one of America's greatest novelists, encapsulated the ethos of a generation in his fiction. His acknowledged masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, stands as one of the high points of twentieth-century literature. Paul Theroux is an American writer whose works include travelogues such as The Great Railway Bazaar (1975) and Dark Star Safari (2002) as well as novels such as The Mosquito Coast (1981). He lives in Hawaii and in Massachusetts.
