Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and he attended Princeton University, where he began to nurture his passion for writing. His debut novel, "This Side of Paradise," published in 1920, brought him immediate success, making him a literary sensation.
However, it was "The Great Gatsby", published in 1925, that solidified his reputation as one of America's greatest novelists. Set in the opulent world of Long Island's elite, the novel explores themes of wealth, love, and the American Dream. Today, it is considered one of the greatest American novels ever written.
