The Great Gatsby

The famous novel by Hemingway's contemporary in a masterful translation by Lubomir Dorůžka. Jazz, love, money and undying hope. Nick Carraway, a young man, arrives in New York with the idea that the general political and economic boom will give him a way to make money through stock trading. They take up residence in a small house on Long Island, adjacent to the lavish mansion of the mysterious wealthy Jay Gatsby, within sight across the bay to his cousin Daisy. It is this very prospect that fascinates Gatsby, who throws lavish parties full of alcohol and sex, which he does not attend himself. His big money, big gestures, high hopes, because the "big eyes" are on Daisy Buchanan, for whom he has feelings from the time when he was far from being able to waste money. But the post-war era, seemingly pulsating with ecstatic jazz rhythms and visions of a better future, does not favour dreamy adventurers.

In this unabridged, more than five-hour audiobook, the role of the narrator Nick Carraway is played by Filip Čapka, an actor from Prague's Švandov Theatre and winner of the Thalia Award. length: 5 hours 34 minutes
