It is the first American campus novel in the true sense, recreating the "days related to youth" in the 1920s. It is the author's first novel and an epoch-making work. It reveals for the first time the spiritual mentor and first love who influenced the author's life. The protagonist of the novel, Amory Bryan, is handsome in appearance, wealthy and pampered. He was admitted to Princeton University as a college student, and later participated in World War I. The war allowed him to see clearly some of the essence of this era and human nature. After leaving the army, Brian became even more confused and decadent. At the age of 30, he became cynical and world-weary, and began to "hate this social system" and longed for a social revolution to push himself to the top of society. The novel is based on the author's own studies and overseas life, describing the protagonist's experience from preparatory school to university, and then experiencing the First World War, and brilliantly reproduces the spiritual outlook of the "lost generation".
