Sobre IBD

Young, privileged, and convinced that an enormous inheritance will someday secure his future, Anthony Patch sees little reason to build a life through work or sacrifice. Then he meets Gloria Gilbert-beautiful, magnetic, and equally devoted to pleasure. Their romance quickly becomes marriage, and together they plunge into a world of parties, alcohol, fashionable friends, and extravagant expectations. But the fortune Anthony expects never seems to arrive. As money dwindles and disappointment grows, the dazzling life he and Gloria imagined begins to collapse. Affection turns to resentment, ambition gives way to idleness, and the beautiful young couple gradually discover the destructive consequences of entitlement, vanity, and a life organized entirely around pleasure.Darkly witty and psychologically sharp, The Beautiful and Damned is F. Scott Fitzgerald’s portrait of a marriage consumed by wealth, expectation, and self-destruction. Filled with the glamour and excess that would come to define the Jazz Age, the novel explores the dangerous distance between possessing every apparent advantage and having the character to make anything meaningful from it.
