Velký Gatsby - CDmp3

The famous novel by Hemingway's companion in a masterful translation by Lubomír Dorůžka. Jazz, love, money, and unending hope. Nick Carraway, a young man with the idea that the general political and economic boom will allow him to make money through stock trading, arrives in New York. He settles in a small house on Long Island, next to the opulent mansion of the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby, with a view across the bay to his cousin Daisy. This very prospect fascinates Gatsby, who throws opulent parties full of alcohol and sex, yet does not participate himself. His big money, grand gestures, and great hopes, his 'big eyes,' are all directed towards Daisy Buchanan, to whom he harbors feelings from a time when he could not yet afford to waste money. However, the post-war era, seemingly pulsating with ecstatic jazz rhythms and visions of a better future, does not favor dreamy adventurers. Description: In the unabridged, over five-hour audiobook, the role of the narrator Nick Carraway is excellently performed by Filip Čapka, an actor from Prague's Švandovo Theatre and a Thálie Award winner. Length: 5 hours 34 minutes.
