Blaga je noć

Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Sweet Night (1934) is a novel that follows the rise and fall of Dick Diver, a talented American psychiatrist, on the French Riviera and in Europe in the 1920s. It is the fourth and final novel completed by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Diver, charismatic and ambitious, lives with his wealthy wife Nicole, a former patient whose mental health is fragile due to a childhood marked by trauma. Their seemingly idyllic married life is filled with parties and socializing with the social elite, including actress Rosemary Hoyt.

The story takes place on the Riviera, where Dick attracts the attention of the young Rosemary, infatuated with his charming appearance. Their flirtation reveals the cracks in Dick's marriage, while Nicole's instability and need for control deepen the tension. Dick's professional success fades as he indulges in alcohol and social excesses, losing his compass. The novel traces his decline from a promising doctor to a man broken by his own weaknesses and social pressures.

Fitzgerald explores themes of love, ambition, mental health, and the decline of the American dream. Dick's transformation from idealist to broken man reflects the author's critique of the decadent lives of the wealthy. Nicole, inspired by Fitzgerald's wife Zelda, symbolizes fragility and strength in the struggle with mental illness. The novel, written in a rich, lyrical style, ends tragically, with Dick fading into insignificance.
