About this audiobook
If you read The Great Gatsby back during your high school days or you've never had the chance to dive into this timeless, it is time to add one of the greatest novels ever written to your library.
The Great Gatsby beautifully portrays the life during the Jazz Age, the time when “gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession,” as The New York Times explains. This classic is an exquisitely crafted tale about the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsbu and his love for the gorgeous Daisy Buchanan.
The Great Gatsby is one of the most educational and motivational works ever written. It is a great example of how failure can breed success. After all, Jay Gatsby is the perfect example of a self-made man who managed to succeed in life.
The Great Gatsby is full of hidden messages and beautiful language.

F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940) was an American novelist and short story writer. He is best known for his 1925 novel The Great Gatsby, the quintessential tale of the decadence and overindulgence of the Jazz Age. Born into an upper middle-class family in St. Paul, Minnesota, Fitzgerald was raised in New York. After dropping out of Princeton University in 1917 to join the Army, he was stationed in Alabama, where he met wealthy socialite Zelda Sayre. It was only after he achieved moderate success with his debut novel This Side of Paradise that Zelda agreed to marry him. His second novel, The Beautiful and the Damned, propelled him to literary stardom, the volatile nature of which inspired his best-known work The Great Gatsby. Though it met with mixed reviews in Fitzgerald’s lifetime, The Great Gatsby is now considered by some literary scholars to be the “Great American Novel.” Haunted by alcoholism, declining popularity, and financial difficulties well into the 1930s, Fitzgerald died in 1940. An unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon, was published posthumously in 1941.
