About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Great Gatsby (Version 5 Dramatic Reading) by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. 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 Cast: Jay Gatsby: Tomas Peter Daisy Buchanan, Pammy, Boy 1: Jasmin Salma Nick Carraway: TJ Burns Tom Buchanan: Larry Wilson Jordan Baker: Jenn Broda George Wilson: Alan Mapstone Myrtle Wilson: Matea Bracic Meyer Wolfshiem: False Citrine Catherine: Kim Lamb Mr. McKee, Chauffeur: Chuck Williamson Mrs. McKee, Horse Woman: Amelia Chesley Ewing Klipspringer: Andrew Gaunce Michaelis: KevinS Owl Eyes: Matthew Reece Nick’s Dad, Drunk Driver, Witness: Craig Franklin Mr. Sloane, Police Officer: Kyle Donelan Doctor Civet, Man 2, Elevator Boy, Waiter: Diana Helen Kennedy Lucille, Stella: Magda Wilde Girl 1: Michele Eaton Reporter, Orchestra Leader, Conductor: David Purdy Dan Cody, Tom’s Butler, Gardener: realisticspeakers Mr. Gatz: Retroindiereader Slagle: Son of the Exiles Miss Baedeker, Woman 1: Sirena Rose Woman 2, Motorist, Nurse: Eleonora Bettenzoli Woman 3, Operator: Hannah F Gatsby’s Butler: Weston L Dog Breeder: ambsweet13
