In Zärtlich ist die Nacht sieht Fitzgerald sein Schicksal voraus. Er schildert den Zerfall des Psychiaters Dick Diver. Es ist ein Dasein zwischen Cote d'Azur, Rom und Zürich, in Hotels, Bars, inmitten von Filmstars, Adligen und Millionären. Diver handelt als Arzt, wo er als Mensch handeln sollte, und als Wissenschaftler, wo er als Gatte empfinden sollte. Es ist die Seelenforschung eines Isolierten.
Klappentext:
These sumptuous new hardback editions mark the 70th anniversary of Fitzgerald's death.
Between the First World War and the Wall Street Crash, the French Riviera was the stylish place for wealthy Americans to visit. Among the most fashionable are the Divers, Dick and Nicole who hold court at their villa. Into their circle comes Rosemary Hoyt, a film star, who is instantly attracted to them, but understands little of the dark secrets and hidden corruption that hold them together. As Dick draws closer to Rosemary, he fractures the delicate structure of his marriage and sets both Nicole and himself on to a dangerous path where only the strongest can survive. In this exquisite, lyrical novel, Fitzgerald has poured much of the essence of his own life; he has also depicted the age of materialism, shattered idealism and broken dreams.
