The Beautiful and Damned is the masterpiece of Francis Scott Fitzgerald and a meditation on the moral decadence that caught on a good part of the young and beautiful New York society during the Jazz Age. First published in 1922, it tells the story of Anthony Patch, an early XX century socialite and heir to a tycoon's fortune whose only purpose seems to be to wait for his inheritance, and of his relationship with Gloria, a woman whose only aspiration seems to be to catch her perfect husband.
