Like sudden, startling apparitions in a shadowy street, his subjects are illuminated against deep, dark backgrounds and rendered with immense physical as well as psychological scrutiny. Whether biblical or ... |

Ф. Скот Фицджералд (1896 - 1940) днес е прочут най-вече с романите си, но приживе дължи славата си на своите разкази. Извънредно плодовит, измежду авторите на кратки белетристични творби от своето време той е сред най-печатаните (и най-добре платени). Разказите на Скот Фицджералд са над 150. Повечето от тях първо са били публикувани в периодични издания - най-вече в "Saturday Evening Post", но също и в конкурентните "Red Book", "Liberty", "Collier's", "Metropolitan", "McCall's", и едва впоследствие излизат във вид на книги. Новелата "Червенокосата ... |
