Beschreibung

"We were going to the Old World to find a new rhythm to our lives...With a true conviction that we had left our old selves behind forever." -F. Scott Fitzgerald, How to Live on Practically Nothing a Year (1924) How to Live on $36,000 a Year and How to Live on Practically Nothing a Year (1924) by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a compilation of two essays which details Fitzgerald's attempt to live a wealthy lifestyle on an author's salary. Fitzgerald and wife Zelda spend lavishly and consequently, end up penniless. However, the couple hears living abroad is less expensive and moves to the French Riviera. Despite their desire to live simply, the two are swept up by the social life of expatriates and are doomed to further debt. In this volume, Fitzgerald inimitably crafts the excesses of The Roaring Twenties for readers who love the era.
