Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

"Reclining lazily in an armchair not two yards away sat a gold-and-ivory little beauty with dark eyes and a moving, childish smile that was like all the lost youth in the world."

-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Third Casket (1924)

The Third Casket (1924) is one of the 68 stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald published in the Saturday Evening Post over a seventeen-year timespan. The unique plot centers on business owner Cyrus Girard who wishes to give his business and possibly his daughter's hand to one of three up-and-coming young men in social and business circles. Since Girard is aging and has no sons to take over his company, Girard devises a competition for the three which takes unexpected turns. This timeless tale is for those who wish to experience the short fiction of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.
