I couldn’t find a good version narrated by Tim Robbins, so I made my own.

Set in the Roaring Twenties, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby explores the impact of prosperity and societal pressures during an era of dramatic change, exciting possibilities, and rampant corruption. The story focuses on Jay Gatsby, a wealthy individual seeking to rekindle a past romance with the married Daisy Buchanan. Narrator Nick Carraway provides his perspective on the tension between wealth and reality. Through Gatsby’s ultimately tragic story, Fitzgerald addresses themes including love, longing, regret, ambition, and the American Dream.
