Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In The Perfect Hour, biographer James L. W. West III reveals the never-before told story of the romance between F. Scott Fitzgerald and his first love, Ginevra King. They met in January 1915, when Scott was nineteen, a Princeton student, and sixteen-year-old Ginevra, socially poised and confident, was a sophomore at Westover School. Their romance flourished in heartfelt letters and quickly ran its coursebut Scott never forgot it. Ginevra became the inspiration for Isabelle Borge in This Side of Paradise and the model for Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby. Scott also wrote short stories inspired by herincluding Babes in the Woods and Winter Dreams, which, along with Ginevras own story featuring Scott are reprinted in this volume. With access to Ginevras personal diary, love letters, photographs, and Scotts own scrapbook, West tells the beguiling story of youthful passion that shaped Scott Fitzgeralds life as a writer.For Scott and Ginevra, the perfect hour was private code for a fleeting time they almost shared and then yearned after for the rest of their lives. Now West brings that perfect hour back to life in all its freshness, delicacy, and poignant brevity. Incorporating information from recently discovered letters and Ginevra King's diary, this biography tells the story of the romance between F. Scott Fitzgerald and his first love, Ginevra King.
