The Great Gatsby

De: F. Scott Fitzgerald

Narrado por: Tim Robbins

An undisputed masterpiece of twentieth-century literature, perfect for Fitzgerald lovers and classics collectors alike.

Set against a backdrop of jazz music, bootlegging, and lavish parties, The Great Gatsby is the story of Midwesterner Nick Carraway’s curious introduction to the decadent world of his mysterious, wealthy neighbor Jay Gatsby, whose thirst for riches is matched only by his tragic obsession with the beautiful Daisy Buchanan.

Penned in the “roaring twenties,” the novel continues to be the subject of numerous film and stage adaptations and has become a fixture in the American classroom. This dangerously propulsive tale of glitz and glamour continues to be relevant as readers long for escapist novels—a chance to flee into Gatsby’s famed mansion and lose oneself in the rush of opulence.

The Great Gatsby audiobook is brought to life by Tim Robbins, famed American actor, screenwriter, director, producer, and musician.

A great classic read by a great actor

This story never gets old. It is a vivid portrait of the societal consequences of "turn of the century " modernization

Alive and Wild! I finished it same day.

Tim Robbins does a FANTASTIC job as the multitude of players in Mr. Fitzgerald's classic. He grips you listening on and on.

Good to revisit 42 years later

I remember disliking "The Great Gatsby" in high school four decades ago but, back then, I don't think I understood why. I cannot say that it is one of my favorites now, even after so many years. But, today, with the majority of my years behind me, I better understand the shallow and temporary joy that comes from money, fame and status. I also have witnessed the tragedy of loneliness that comes from pretencious living and acting out expectes roles with no authenticity or depth of relationship.

Excellent narration, incredible story and writing

Probably one of the best books ever written. If you read it in high school read it again as an adult. It’s much better.

Oh yes,

There is foul language, excessive drinking, violence and promiscuity in this classic but that's a part of everyday life isn't it. Placing topics like this in a novel gives us all equal footing on which discuss and learn from them and each other.

This is a well written peek into the Jazz Age and doesn't come across as a glorification of the above mentioned topics. The story line flows well and the performance doesn't distract. This is worth your credit so Enjoy :-)
