The Great Gatsby

The Definitive Novel of the Jazz Age-A Tragic Masterpiece of Wealth, Obsession, and the Corruption of the American Dream

By: F. Scott Fitzgerald

Narrated by: Angus Scott

Have you ever wondered why the relentless pursuit of the American Dream can lead to the destruction of the soul?

Jay Gatsby has everything—wealth, power, and a name surrounded by mystery. Yet he lacks the one thing he wants most: the love of Daisy Buchanan, a woman who represents a past he cannot release.

Set amid the glittering chaos of the Roaring Twenties, The Great Gatsby is F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece of ambition, obsession, class, and disillusionment.

Narrated by Nick Carraway, the novel exposes the carelessness of the rich, the emptiness beneath social climbing, and the moral decay hidden behind beauty and wealth. As Gatsby’s carefully built image begins to fall apart, the story moves toward a devastating conclusion that challenges the promise of the American Dream.
