The Beautiful and Damned

Description

“The magnificent attitude of not giving a damn…and to seek the moment’s happiness as fervently and persistently as possible.”

Anthony and Floria Patch are a rich and passionate couple who drink and dance away their days in glorious decadence. Gloria is a beautiful and vibrant socialite, while Anthony, a Harvard-educated man who years for the finer things in life, is the heir to a great fortune. But as the money starts to run out, the marriage begins to crumble.

First published in 1922, The Beautiful and Damned is a brilliant portrait of New York during the Jazz Age, a haunting exploration of the loss of innocence, and about all, a remarkable literary achievement.
