About this recording
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a haunting portrait of ambition, love, and illusion in 1920s America. Narrated by Nick Carraway, the novel follows the enigmatic Jay Gatsby—a self-made millionaire whose lavish parties mask a singular obsession. As Gatsby chases his dream, Nick becomes both captivated and disillusioned by Gatsby's idealism. Through glittering excess and quiet despair, Fitzgerald exposes the emptiness and elusiveness of the American Dream, the moral corruption involved in the pursuit of wealth, and the deep divide between old money privilege and the striving self-made man. - Summary by TJ Burns
