Sinopsis

The Great Gatsby is F. Scott Fitzgerald’s great American novel; sublime, deftly written, at times wickedly funny, and always tightly under control by a master of the language who was at the top of his powers. In Gatsby, Fitzgerald explored the Jazz Age with an intimate knowledge and perception that no other writer could have matched. Much of the happenings in the novel are pulled directly from Fitzgerald’s own hedonistic experiences. A cautionary tale about reaching for the American Dream and being crushed by it. No one is certain where Gatsby’s money comes from, but they are all willing to help him spend it. He yearns to reconnect with his lost love Daisy Buchanan, but is there any place for him in her world?

    "This is a history and not a glorification of Mr. Polly, and I tell of things as they were with him” 
    So writes H.G Wells towards the end of his story of Mr Polly and indeed the narrator’s voice throughout the book leaves us altogether ambivalent about his protagonist. 
    The diminutive Everyman of the story is neither fully hero nor villain. 
      
    A book that, although gently humorous, gives us no facile answers to life's frustrations and conundrums, but leaves us with a fitting reflaction of our own often bewildering existence. 
    Narrated by Simon Hester and with original music.

One night Beauty wandered into a room and found Beast, and he asked her if she would ever marry him, when she said no, he became angry and left her, refusing to talk to her for a long time. He repeated his request numerous times, and her answer was always no. In Beauty's dreams, she spoke to a charming prince about the Beast. After a series of frightening dreams involving her family and prince, Beast asked her to marry him one more time, and she said yes, because her feeling towards him had changed.
