Ulrich Matthes reads "The Great Gatsby"

by F. Scott Fitzgerald
It is the "Roaring Twenties" of the last century in which F. Scott Fitzgerald set his novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925. At its center: the upstart Jay Gatsby, who makes a fortune by any means necessary to win the woman of his heart. Fitzgerald tells of the dream world of wealth and exuberant parties, of the magic of the American Dream, the emptiness of success and the transience of the world. And sketches the picture of a transitional period that, at the same time quite different and similar, could also be ours: highly nervous and affectively charged, escaping one catastrophe and full of suspicions that another one could already be around the corner.
