The Great Gatsby

Written by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Narrated by Derrick Magolski

The Great Gatsby: An Exquisitely Crafted 1920s American Tale of Life-Long Obsessions & Ceaseless Devotions

“So, we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

On the prosperous Long Island shores sit the grand affluence of West Egg and East Egg — places where a sinister Gatsby’s mansion, with his mysterious mounds of gold and gin-filled parties, takes residence. Nobody knows who he really is. Or where he came from. No one even knows why he is so sickeningly rich.

And, yet Daisy Buchanan feels like she knows him. She just might.

Critically acclaimed for its pomp and fanfare, of love gone wrong, of dying alone amid insatiable sycophant crowds, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald remains among the modern literary world’s best novels.

In this delightfully titillating audiobook, you will:

• Explore one of the greatest novels ever written
• Sink your teeth into the drama and perversion that permeate the world of the rich
• Walk into an incorruptible dream filled with ill intentions
• And so much more!

As intellectual icon Gertrude Stein once said of F. Scott Fitzgerald, he “will be read when many of his well-known contemporaries are forgotten.”

Reviews for The Great Gatsby

[Charleen Willis · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A genuinely inconceivable tune in. Stunning narrator. Splendid story created consummately. Stacked with a hopeless humanity.

[Michael Golden · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

In case you're need to tune in to an Audible rendition of The Great Gatsby, yet can't choose which portrayal to go with - go with this one. Tom Chandler has impeccably portrayed this story, with the specific despairing and diary ish tone and feel of the story. This is certainly one of my number one books, made such a ton better with this portrayal.

I read this novel, I imagine like many people, my sophomore year of high school. I remember enjoying it then, mostly the length, but also the story of these crazy people living it up on Long Island.

[Gambler Jack · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The Great Gatsby, by Scott Fitzgerald is a book that will forever remain part of who you are. This book is not about glamour, or riches — it's about a soul in pain, about a goal unmet, about dreams and love that is wrongly directed. It's about being human. About understanding and accepting (unlike Gatsby) what is within and what is beyond our control. The beautiful and terrible illusions of the human mind. Read it!

The Great Gatsby IS about the Jazz Age. There is strong symbolism in this book -- the green light. And there is quite a bit of foreshadowing (and foreboding) in this book -- "the all-seeing eyes". But there is also layer upon layer of wonderful in this book.

[Elizabeth Lucia · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is one of my favorite novels. I've both read and taught it in my college lit courses a number of times.

[Starling Johns · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Throughout this novel, we are to consider color, rightfully so. In the very beginning we are confronted with a view of skin color as base as it is fearful. The color of skin, the color of grass, the color of automobiles. Perhaps silver: a color drained of ambition and purpose: the literal silver-spoon-borne-illness that welcomes the Daisy(s) and Toms of this world describes a lack of depth and consequence.

I only encountered “The Great Gatsby” as an Abridged Paperback Edition that was part of a prior English Class that my wife was taking in Brasilia. I enjoyed the book but I resolved to read the Full Version in the future. I saw this edition in a Bookbub email and at $1.99, I bought it and spent four days reading it leisurely.

[Anne-Marie · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

It‘ not the book that I didn‘t like.
It jumped to different places in the book and left out big chunks of the story. that made it hard to follow the plot.

[Samira Cassidy · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This making of The Great Gatsby,narrated by Tom Chandler is all that I've commonly imagined it might be.
