Fitzgerald, F. Scott. The Last Tycoon. An Unfinished Novel. Together with The Great Gatsby and Selected Stories.. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1941.

Price: US$600.00 + shipping

Description: Early printing with publisher’s seal on the copyright page. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in very good price-clipped dust jacket. Foreword by Edmund Wilson. A nice example. Unfinished at the time of his death, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Last Tycoon is a story of doomed love set against the extravagance of America's booming film industry. The studio lot looks like 'thirty acres of fairyland' the night that a mysterious woman stands and smiles at Monroe Stahr, the last of the great Hollywood princes. Enchanted by one another, they begin a passionate but hopeless love affair, starting with a fast-moving seduction as slick as a scene from one of Stahr's pictures. The romance unfolds, frame by frame, watched by Cecilia, a thoroughly modern girl who has taken her lessons in sentiment and cynicism from all the movies she has seen. Her buoyant humour and satirical eye perfectly complement Fitzgerald's panorama of Hollywood at its most lavish and bewitching. F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) has acquired a mythical status in American literary history, and his masterwork The Great Gatsby is considered by many to be the 'great American novel'. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre, dubbed 'the first American Flapper', and their traumatic marriage and Zelda's gradual descent into insanity became the leading influence on his writing. As well as many short stories, Fitzgerald wrote five novels This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and, incomplete at the time of his death, The Last Tycoon. After his death The New York Times said of him that 'in fact and in the literary sense he created a "generation" '. It is the basis for the 1976 film directed by Elia Kazan and produced by Sam Spiegel, based on Harold Pinter's screenplay, starring Robert De Niro, Tony Curtis, Robert Mitchum, Jack Nicholson, Donald Pleasence, Jeanne Moreau, Theresa Russell and Ingrid Boulting.

Condition: Very Good

Description: 8vo. [8], ix-xi, [3], 3-476 pp. Blue cloth with gold lettering and a gold decoration on the front board, gold lettering and gold rules on the spine; red topstain. Edited with an introduction by Edmund Wilson. Bruccoli A19.I.a. Mark My Words, "The Last Tycoon" (private blog). This volume contains the last literary project Fitzgerald worked on before his death from alcoholism. It was one of the publications that served to reinvigorate Fitzgerald's reputation, as before this he had not published a book in five years. Shortly after this book's publication, interest in The Great Gatsby skyrocketed, so much so that American GI's were issued copies to take with them to the European front. Fitzgerald's unfinished work explores the tension between art and commerce, based on the true story of two dueling executives at MGM studios. The spine rubbed, gutters browned with age; jacket is price-clipped with a few chips and tears.

FITZGERALD, F. Scott. The Last Tycoon. An Unfinished Novel. Together with The Great Gatsby and Selected Stories. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1941.

Price: US$1750.00 + shipping

Condition: Near Fine

Description: First edition. Blue cloth lettered in gilt. Small stain on front fly, else an attractive near fine copy in very good dustwrapper with small nicks and a modest chip on the rear panel, a couple of creased tears, and a little sunning at the spine. Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author Paul Horgan's copy with his small bookplate on the front pastedown, and his lightly penciled notes on the verso of the rear free endpaper. The novel Fitzgerald was working on at the time of his death in 1940, loosely based on the life of MGM producer Irving Thalberg, published a year later with the editorial assistance of Fitzgerald's classmate Edmund Wilson. Fitzgerald was rapidly fading from public and literary consciousness at the time, and this book had a limited audience. Consequently it is relatively uncommon, especially as represented in an association copy.
