Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, celebrated American novelist and short story writer, is widely regarded as one of the finest authors of the 20th century, notable for his depiction of the Jazz Agea term he is credited with coining himself. Born on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul, Minnesota, Fitzgerald's literary prowess was evident from an early age, and he honed his craft at Princeton University, though he never graduated. His breakthrough came with 'This Side of Paradise' (1920), which instantly made him famous. Fitzgerald's most acclaimed novel, 'The Great Gatsby' (1925), remains a seminal work in American literature, lauded for its exploration of decadence, idealism, and the fallacies of the American Dream. His other notable works include 'The Beautiful and Damned' (1922) and 'Tender is the Night' (1934). Besides novels, Fitzgerald was a master of the short form, as displayed in 'My Lost City& Other Autobiographical Essays,' which provides insight into his life and times, reflecting his personal struggles and the ebbs and flows of his career. His lyrical style, marked by a keen social insight and a plaintive melancholy, captures the spirit of an era and the complexities of the human condition. Despite his literary success, Fitzgerald battled personal demons, struggling with alcoholism and financial difficulties. He died on December 21, 1940, leaving behind a legacy that continues to influence writers and culture to this day.

„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da viele verschiedene Formate (Dateien) für E-Books existieren, gilt es dabei, einiges zu beachten.

Von uns werden digitale Bücher in drei Formaten ausgeliefert. Die Formate sind EPUB mit DRM (Digital Rights Management), EPUB ohne DRM und PDF. Bei den Formaten PDF und EPUB ohne DRM müssen Sie lediglich prüfen, ob Ihr E-Book Reader kompatibel ist. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss. Einige E-Book Reader (zum Beispiel PocketBook Touch) unterstützen auch das direkte Eingeben der Login-Daten des Adobe Accounts – somit können diese ASCM-Dateien direkt auf das betreffende Gerät kopiert werden.

Da E-Books nur für eine begrenzte Zeit – in der Regel 6 Monate – herunterladbar sind, sollten Sie stets eine Sicherheitskopie auf einem Dauerspeicher (Festplatte, USB-Stick oder CD) vorsehen. Auch ist die Menge der Downloads auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
