Tender is the Night
F. Scott Fitzgerald
FITZGERALD, F. Scott (1896-1940). Tender is the Night. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1934.
Fitzgerald’s fourth and final novel: presentation copy of the first edition, first printing, inscribed by the author: ‘Dear Archie & Ada / Your Friend / Scott’, with a further inscription to the front pastedown: ‘c/o Fortune Magazine’. Tender is the Night takes its title from a line in Keats’s ‘Ode to a Nightingale’, and concerns the lives of American expatriates in the French Riviera in the twilight of the Jazz age. Archibald MacLeish (1892-1982) was a poet and writer who from 1930-1938 worked as an editor at Fortune magazine, and later became the ninth Librarian of Congress and the recipient of three Pulitzer prizes. In the early 1920s he moved with his wife Ada to Paris, settling into the community of literary expats in the city and the artistic coterie at the Riviera which included Fitzgerald and Zelda, as well as Gerald and Sarah Murphy who are considered to be the inspiration for the married protagonists of Tender is the Night. Bruccoli A14.1.a.
Octavo. (A few faint spots or stains, front endpaper excised.) Original linen-grain green cloth, spine lettered in gilt (lightly marked, tiny chip to lower edge of upper board, spine slightly dulled); remains of original pictorial dust-jacket (lacking front flap containing issue points, and large sections of front panel and other areas, somewhat browned); accompanied by a second dust-jacket, evidently supplied from another copy and of the first issue, with front flap showing blurbs by T. S. Eliot, H. L. Mencken, and Paul Rosenfeld (spine panel somewhat faded, minor chips at spine ends and corners); custom green quarter morocco box.
