Tender Is the Night

This book includes novel Tender Is the Night by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, illustrated with 11 illustrations by Maria Tsaneva. Tender Is the Night is a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was his fourth and final completed novel, and was first published in Scribner's Magazine between January–April, 1934. The title is taken from the poem "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats. Two versions of this novel are in print. The first version, published in 1934, uses flashbacks; the second, revised version, prepared by Fitzgerald's friend and noted critic Malcolm Cowley on the basis of notes for a revision left by Fitzgerald, is ordered chronologically. Critics have suggested that Cowley's revision was undertaken due to negative reviews of the temporal structure of the first version of the book. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Tender Is the Night 28th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
