This is an automatically translated description

«Tender is the Night» — is a largely autobiographical novel, which Fitzgerald himself called his favourite work, and many critics rated it higher than The Great Gatsby.

This novel is the story of the difficult relationship between the young American actress Rosemary, the young talented psychiatrist Dick Diver and his wife Nicole, whose illness is an echo of Fitzgerald's own drama (his wife Zelda suffered from schizophrenia).

This is a novel about love, passion, the desire to save a marriage, despair and self-deception, in which the fate of individual characters reveals the image of an entire era. Fitzgerald planned to traditionally describe the Jazz Age - the turbulent 20s of the 20th century with their parties, waste of life and love extravaganzas. But, according to the writer, while working on the text, he realised that the most expensive orgy in history had come to an end.
