Suprugi Frėnsis Skott i Zelʹda Fit͡sdzheralʹd - "zolotai͡a para" veka dzhaza, voploshchenie "poteri͡annogo pokolenii͡a", plotʹ ot ploti toĭ legendarnoĭ ėpokhi, postoi͡annye geroi svetskoĭ khroniki i gromkikh skandalov. Prini͡ato schitatʹ, chto obladatelʹ talanta, "estestvennogo, kak uzor iz pylʹt͡sy na krylʹi͡akh babochki" (po vyrazhenii͡u Kheminguėi͡a), pisal svoi shedevry, a Zelʹda tem vremenem pytalasʹ statʹ zvezdoĭ di͡agilevskogo baleta; chto on zarabatyval sostoi͡anie za sostoi͡aniem - no vse denʹgi ukhodili na ee soderzhanie v dorogikh psikhiatricheskikh klinikakh; i chto istorii͡a ikh dramaticheskikh otnosheniĭ legla v osnovu ego znamenitoĭ knigi "Nochʹ nezhna". Na dele zhe Zelʹda uspela pervoĭ: ee novatorskiĭ roman "Valʹs ostavʹ dli͡a meni͡a", osnovannyĭ na tom zhe avtobiograficheskom materiale, byl opublikovan, k bolʹshomu neudovolʹstvii͡u supruga, dvumi͡a godami ranʹshe, a cherez neskolʹko desi͡atiletiĭ poshli razgovory o tom, chto muzh v svoem tvorchestve ne stesni͡alsi͡a polʹzovatʹsi͡a ee dnevnikami i zapisnymi knizhkami, prichem doslovno. Kak by to ni bylo, "Valʹs ostavʹ dli͡a meni͡a", s ego istorieĭ amerikanskogo vzroslenii͡a i evropeĭskikh mytarstv vzbalmoshnoĭ krasavit͡sy Alabamy Naĭt i ee muzha-khudozhnika, ostaetsi͡a udivitelʹnym dokumentom blesti͡ashcheĭ ėpokhi. Vashemu vnimanii͡u predlagaetsi͡a polnoe sobranie prizhiznennykh publikat͡siĭ Zelʹdy Fit͡sdzheralʹd - roman, rasskazy, ėsseistika, - prichem roman publikuetsi͡a v novom perevode, a ostalʹnye materialy na russkom vykhodi͡at vpervye. V originale bolʹshinstvo rasskazov iskhodno pechatalisʹ pod imenem oboikh suprugov ili za avtorstvom F. S. Fit͡sdzheralʹda - no napisany Zelʹdoĭ.

Spouses Francis Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald are the "golden couple" of the jazz age, the embodiment of the "lost generation", flesh of the flesh of that legendary era, constant heroes of gossip columns and high—profile scandals. It is generally believed that the owner of talent, "natural as a pattern of pollen on butterfly wings" (in Hemingway's words), wrote his masterpieces, while Zelda was trying to become a star of the Diaghilev ballet; that he earned fortune after fortune — but all the money went to her maintenance in expensive psychiatric clinics; and that the story their dramatic relationship formed the basis of his famous book "The Night is Tender". In fact, Zelda was the first to succeed: her groundbreaking novel "Leave the Waltz for Me," based on the same autobiographical material, was published two years earlier, much to her husband's displeasure, and several decades later there was talk that her husband was not shy about using her diaries and notebooks in his work, and literally. Anyway, Leave the Waltz for Me, with its story of American adulthood and the European ordeals of the flighty beauty Alabama Knight and her artist husband, remains an amazing document of a brilliant era. We offer you the complete collection of Zelda Fitzgerald's lifetime publications — a novel, short stories, and essays. Moreover, the novel is published in a new translation, and the rest of the materials are published in Russian for the first time. In the original, most of the stories were originally published under the name of both spouses or under the authorship of F. S. Fitzgerald — but written by Zelda.
