Babylon Revisited

"Babylon Revisited" is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, written in December 1930 and first published on February 21, 1931, in the Saturday Evening Post and inside The Telegraph, the following Saturday. Regarded by critics and scholars as among the author's greatest works, the story is set in the year after the stock market crash of 1929, heralding the end of an era that Fitzgerald referred to as the Jazz Age. Brief flashbacks take place in the Jazz Age. Also, it shows several references to the Great Depression and how the character had to adapt his life to it. Much of it is based on the author's own experiences.
