Flappers And Philosophers

Flappers and Philosophers

by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Flappers and Philosophers, a collection of eight short stories published in 1920, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and tumultuous era of the Roaring Twenties. Fitzgerald captures the spirit of the time, exploring themes of youthful rebellion, societal expectations, the pursuit of pleasure, and the disillusionment that lurks beneath the surface of a seemingly carefree society. Through vivid characters and intricate plots, he delves into the complexities of love, identity, and the shifting values of a generation navigating a new world.
