The Great Gatsby is told by Nick Carraway, a young Midwesterner who rents a small house on Long Island in the summer of 1922, right next door to the enormous mansion of Jay Gatsby. Every weekend Gatsby throws dazzling parties for hundreds of strangers, yet nobody seems to know who he really is or where his fortune came from. Nick soon learns that Gatsby has spent years chasing a single dream: winning back Daisy Buchanan, Nick’s charming cousin, who now lives across the bay with her rich, overbearing husband, Tom. As an old love is rekindled in the heat of a New York summer, secrets surface and the glamour begins to crack. The original story in clear, modern language, with all the romance, longing, and sharp Jazz Age insight of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic. It’s a smooth, absorbing listen about wealth, desire, and the American dream.
