Money - and the social effects of having it or not - is too big a theme in people's daily lives to be ignored by literature. The writers gave the most varied interpretations and looked from the most different angles to the human relationship with money - but the final thought is always up to the reader. The critic August Nemo selected seven classic short stories on this subject:
- The Money Box by W.W. Jacobs - Mammon and the Archer by O. Henry - After the Race by James Joyce - The Rocking-Horse Winner by D. H. Lawrence - Filboid Studge by Saki - Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald - The Crocodile by Fyodor Dostoevsky For more books with interesting themes, be sure to check the other books in this collection!
Über F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in St Paul, Minnesota, and went to Princeton University which he left in 1917 to join the army. Fitzgerald was said to have epitomised the Jazz Age, an age inhabited by a generation he defined as 'grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken'.
