The Beautiful and Damned (1922) by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a Jazz Age novel that explores love, ambition, and the destructive pursuit of wealth.
It follows Anthony Patch, a wealthy young man and heir to his grandfather's fortune, and his glamorous wife, Gloria Gilbert. Both are obsessed with beauty, status, and pleasure, living a life of indulgence and aimlessness in New York society. As they wait for Anthony's inheritance, their marriage unravels under the strain of idleness, alcoholism, and disappointment.
Ultimately, the inheritance brings them little fulfillment, highlighting Fitzgerald's critique of materialism and the emptiness beneath the glittering surface of the 1920s elite.
