  • Sono così numerosi i libri letti che vorrei inserire su anobii che non so se ce la farò mai, ma Tender is the Night merita assolutamente di figurare. È stato uno dei primi libri che ho letto quando il mio inglese ha superato il livello di sopravvivenza, direi forse in quarta liceo.

    Sono così numerosi i libri letti che vorrei inserire su anobii che non so se ce la farò mai, ma Tender is the Night merita assolutamente di figurare. È stato uno dei primi libri che ho letto quando il mio inglese ha superato il livello di sopravvivenza, direi forse in quarta liceo.
    L'eleganza dello stile di Scott Fitzgerald è indiscutibile, ma quello che rende memorabile questo libro è la percezione chiara e inquietante che sotto la patina di pacata perfezione c'è una storia misteriosa e tormentata. Cosa c'è di indicibile nella storia di Dick e Nicole? Cos'ha visto Violet a Villa Diana? Devo rileggerlo!

  • Well... I'm a sucker for tragic love but this moved me even less than The Great Gatsby. In theory this would have been great with the mad wife and all but somehow Fitzgerald manages to keep me at a long distance from both the story and the characters.

  • Fitzgerald is one of the authours I like to come back to once every few years, because at every age I discover some new side to his writing.

Published in 1934, Tender Is the Night was one of the most talked-about books of the year. "It's amazing how excellent much of it is," Ernest Hemingway said to Maxwell Perkins. "I will say now," John O'Hara wrote Fitzgerald, "Tender Is the Night is in the early stages of being my favorite book, even more than This Side of Paradise." And Archibald MacLeish exclaimed: "Great God, Scott...You are a fine writer. Believe it -- not me."

Set on the French Riviera in the late 1920s, Tender Is the Night is the tragic romance of the young actress Rosemary Hoyt and the stylish American couple Dick and Nicole Diver. A brilliant young psychiatrist at the time of his marriage, Dick is both husband and doctor to Nicole, whose wealth goads him into a lifestyle not his own, and whose growing strength highlights Dick's harrowing demise. A profound study of the romantic concept of character -- lyrical, expansive, and hauntingly evocative -- Tender Is the Night, Mabel Dodge Luhan remarked, raised F. Scott Fitzgerald to the heights of "a modern Orpheus."
