SINOPSE
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Audiobook is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first-person narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan.
Plot summary:
In spring 1922, Nick Carraway—a Yale alumnus from the Midwest and a World War I veteran—journeys to New York City to obtain employment as a bond salesman. He rents a bungalow in the Long Island village of West Egg, next to a luxurious estate inhabited by Jay Gatsby, an enigmatic multi-millionaire who hosts dazzling soirées yet doesn't partake in them.
One evening, Nick dines with a distant cousin, Daisy Buchanan, in the fashionable town of East Egg. Daisy is married to Tom Buchanan, formerly a Yale football star whom Nick knew during his college days. The couple has recently relocated from Chicago to a mansion directly across the bay from Gatsby's estate. There, Nick encounters Jordan Baker, an insolent flapper and golf champion who is a childhood friend of Daisy's. Jordan confides to Nick that Tom keeps a mistress, Myrtle Wilson, who brazenly telephones him at his home and who lives in the "valley of ashes", a sprawling refuse dump.
hat evening, Nick sees Gatsby standing alone on his lawn, staring at a green light across the bay.
Days later, Nick reluctantly accompanies a drunken and agitated Tom to New York City by train. En route, they stop at a garage inhabited by mechanic George Wilson and his wife Myrtle. Myrtle joins them, and the trio proceed to a small New York apartment that Tom has rented for trysts with her. Guests arrive and a party ensues, which ends with Tom slapping Myrtle and breaking her nose after she mentions Daisy.
One morning, Nick receives a formal invitation to a party at Gatsby's mansion. Once there, Nick is embarrassed that he recognizes no one and begins drinking heavily until he encounters Jordan. While chatting with her, he is approached by a man who introduces himself as Jay Gatsby and insists that both he and Nick served in the 3rd Infantry Division during the war. Gatsby attempts to ingratiate himself with Nick and when Nick leaves the party, he notices Gatsby watching him.

SOBRE O AUTOR
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Escritor norte-americano nascido a 24 de setembro de 1896, em St. Paul, no estado do Minnesota, e falecido a 21 de dezembro de 1940. Aos 13 anos, escreveu The Mystery of the Raymond Mortgage, uma história sobre um detetive que foi publicada no jornal da escola que frequentava. Depois de ter passado por uma escola católica, ingressou, em 1913, na Universidade de Princeton, mas apostou mais no desenvolvimento das suas aptidões literárias do que a estudar as matérias do seu curso. Em 1917, por exemplo, escreveu argumentos e letras para espetáculos musicais e textos humorísticos para revistas. Como constatou que não ia conseguir terminar o curso, ainda em 1917 alistou-se no exército, onde chegou a segundo-tenente. Na altura, os Estados Unidos da América estavam envolvidos na Primeira Guerra Mundial e Fitzgerald estava convencido que ia morrer em combate. Por isso, escreveu a toda a pressa o romance The Romantic Egoist. No ano seguinte, foi trabalhar para Nova Iorque e, apesar de bem sucedido no mundo da publicidade, Fitzgerald deixou o emprego em 1919 para se dedicar ao romance This Side of Paradise, onde usou material de The Romantic Egoist. No mesmo ano, começou a escrever artigos para revistas populares. Para poder ganhar mais dinheiro deixou a escrita de romances e começou a escrever histórias de ficção para jornais. As suas histórias de amor foram consideradas inovadoras e refrescantes. Em 1920, finalmente publicou This Side of Paradise, com o qual alcançou um tremendo sucesso. Logo no ano seguinte, publicou o seu segundo romance, The Beautiful and Damned. Francis Scott Fitzgerald e sua mulher entraram, entretanto, numa fase de grandes luxos participando em inúmeras festas, gastando muito dinheiro e acumulando dívidas. Em 1924, o romancista mudou-se para França, onde escreveu um dos seus livros mais marcantes, The Great Gatsby (O Grande Gatsby), que apesar de ter recebido boas críticas foi um fracasso a nível de vendas. Este romance viria a ser adaptado ao teatro e, posteriormente, ao cinema, ganhando outra visibilidade. A versão cinematográfica mais conhecida é a de 1974, realizada por Jack Clayton, tendo Robert Redford por protagonista. Fitzgerald regressou aos Estados Unidos da América em 1931, tendo tentado escrever alguns argumentos para filmes. Contudo, só conseguiu terminar um, Three Comrades, em 1938. Logo depois, foi despedido devido aos seus problemas de alcoolismo. Em 1939, começou a escrever o romance The Love of The Last Tycoon, que nunca terminaria porque morreu vítima de ataque cardíaco a 21 de dezembro de 1940. No entanto, baseado no que já deixara escrito, foi realizado, em 1976, o filme The Last Tycoon. Sob a direção de Elia Kazan estiveram os atores Robert de Niro, Robert Mitchum e Jack Nicholson. F. Scott Fitzgerald escreveu também alguns contos, entre os quais Babylon Revisited, que inspirou o filme The Last Time I Saw Paris (Última Vez Que Vi Paris), com Elizabeth Taylor.
