Title: Tender is the Night
Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Publisher and Year: Scribner's (1934)
Edition: The book is a first edition, first printing (per the "A" on the copyright page). The original dust jacket is a first issue with a price of $2.50 and three reviews on the front flap by Eliot, Mencken, and Rosenfeld (the second issue dust jacket had different reviews). Bibliographic reference: Bruccoli A15.I.a.
Condition and Description: See pictures. 8vo in publisher's dark green, textured cloth. Hinges and binding sturdy. Very slight spine lean. A touch of foxing on the edges of the textblock; interior clean. No writing or underlining. The original dust jacket is in uncommonly good condition with absolutely no restoration at all. Comes in a custom made morocco box made by the H&H bindery, which they produce at a cost of $1,500. Altogether an exemplary example of this American classic.
Sinopsis
Tender is the Night was F. Scott Fitzgerald’s first novel in nine years (since The Great Gatsby in 1925) and his fourth and final to complete. The generally autobiographical work reflects events surrounding the hospitalization of Fitzgerald’s schizophrenic wife, Zelda, and his own unrelenting alcoholism. Tender is the Night was published in four issues of Scribner's Magazine (January — April) until Charles Scribner’s Sons produced the first novel edition in April 1934. The novel, whose title comes from John Keats’ “Ode to a Nightingale,” has two versions in print: the original, which uses flashbacks in the narrative, and the second, revised version, published posthumously by Malcolm Cowley, in which the storyline is restructured so that events take place chronologically. Some have suggested that this particular revision was in reaction to critics of the original. Tender is the Night sold only 12,000 copies in its first three months compared to Fitzgerald’s This Side of Paradise, which sold over 50,000 in a similar time period. Still, reception for Tender is the Night steadily grew over time. Today, it is ranked 28th on the Modern Library’s list of the “100 Best” English-language novels of the 20th century as well as 69th on NPR’s “100 Years, 100 Novels, One List.”
