Audiokniha: Povídky Francise Scotta Fitzgeralda jsou psány „lehkým perem“ a s vtipným nadhledem. Nezřídka však balancují na pomezí humoru a tragiky. Pojednávají o životních zkouškách, fiktivních i těch skutečných... Podivuhodný případ Benjamina Buttona je groteskním příběhem muže, jenž se narodil jako stařec a celý život mládne. Setkává se s nepochopením a šťastný je pouze uprostřed života, kdy se jeho biologický a duševní věk protínají. Povídku proslavil oceňovaný hollywoodský film z roku 2008 v režii Davida Finchera, s Bradem Pittem a Cate Blanchettovou v hlavních rolích (viz titulní obrázek). Čte Michal Dlouhý. Dvojici povídek Myslí si, že je báječný a Polapený stín spojuje postava hlavního hrdiny, jímž je patnáctiletý chlapec Basil Duke Lee. Patnáct let – to je hraniční věk mezi dětstvím a dospělostí a právě o úskalích tohoto citlivého období pojednávají obě Fitzgeraldovy povídky. Hrdina se vymezuje vůči kamarádům a hledá sám sebe, svoji důstojnost. Touží po úspěchu, ale při honbě za ním porušuje hranice etiky. Poznává, že účel nesvětí prostředky, a pocítí, že světská sláva – polní tráva. Čte Rudolf Pellar.

Audiokniha: Velký Gatsby, příběh tragické deziluze Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940), 'autor jazzového věku', dokázal jedinečným způsobem zvěčnit atmosféru prvního poválečného desetiletí v USA. Ve svém nejznámějším románu Gatsby vypráví příběh velké lásky, oslnivého společenského vzestupu i tragické deziluze. 'Začal jsem počítat výdaje své doby dříve, než na ně byly vystaveny účty,' poznamenal Fitzgerald na téma svého zájmu o zpodobení bezstarostného života americké společenské smetánky utrácející jmění na nekonečných večírcích, plných pašovaného prohibičního alkoholu. Dvacátá léta, do nichž vedla cesta přes bojiště první světové války, nastartovala ve Spojených státech období oslnivé konjunktury, které ukončil až krach na newyorské burze v roce 1929. Na začátku 20. let se taky odehrává Fitzgeraldův román Velký Gatsby, který vyšel v roce 1925. Jeho vypravěč, mladý poválečný navrátilec Nick Carraway, přijíždí ze Středozápadu do New Yorku, aby zkusil štěstí jako burzovní makléř. Náhoda ho přivede do podnájmu v sousedství pohádkového sídla tajemného boháče Jaye Gatsbyho, na jehož velkolepé večírky se každý týden sjíždí půlka New Yorku. Aniž zpočátku tuší proč, vzbudí Nick zájem bohatého souseda, a protože má ve zvyku ostatním spíš naslouchat než odporovat, záhy se stane Gatsbyho důvěrníkem. A pak i pomocníkem při pokusu získat zpět milovanou dívku, o kterou ho před pěti lety ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Audiokniha: Vrcholné dílo z dob největšího flámu v dějinách USA, který Francis Scott Fitzgerald označil za „jazzový věk“ a sám do něj vydatně přispěl mnoha soukromými improvizacemi a pocity „ztracené generace“, přináší milostný příběh z lepší společnosti. Selfmademan Jay Gatz řečený Velký Gatsby i krasavice Daisy Buchananová pronikli v éře prohibice do těchto sfér každý po svém a tak se vyrovnávají i s novým životním stylem a břemenem americké „nevinnosti“. Nesoulad v jejich představách je leitmotivem románu, jenž přezkoumává romantický ideál mámivého „zeleného světla“ – oné „šílené, vzrušující budoucnosti, která před námi rok za rokem ustupuje“ – a posléze ho nemilosrdně obětuje na oltář mýtu o věčné lásce. Fitzgeraldovo působivé zpracování meziválečné podoby amerického snu přinášíme v novém, moderním překladu.

Audiokniha: Audiokniha The Great Gatsby namluvená rodilým mluvčím. Jazyková úroveň C1 pro velmi pokročilé posluchače. “Gatsby?” asked Daisy urgently. “What Gatsby?” Could it be the same young army lieutenant whom Daisy Fay met five years ago – and who owns a sumptuous house on Long Island, where New York society enjoys the best parties on offer? Is it just coincidence that Gatsby lives across the bay from Daisy – now married to wealthy polo-player Tom Buchanan? As one man’s mysterious dream moves towards its ultimately tragic conclusion, Midwesterner Nick Carraway is drawn into the dark world of Gatsby’s past and present – a world of hidden frustrations and superficial relationships which perfectly illustrates the “careless and confused” nature of America’s Jazz Age.

Audiokniha: Veľký Gatsby je najslávnejším románom F. S. Fitzgeralda. Dej príbehu je situovaný do 20. rokov 20. storočia, z obdobia prohibície a tzv. džezového veku v USA. Mladý zbohatlík James Gatz, prezývaný aj Veľký Gatsby, a krásna Daisy Buchananová prenikli do sfér lepšej spoločnosti každý po svojom a podobne sa vyrovnávajú aj s novým životným štýlom. Gatsby rozprávkovo zbohatne na ilegálnom obchode s alkoholom, do novej spoločností však nikdy nezapadne, lebo preňho majú ešte stále najvyššie hodnoty medziľudské vzťahy.

Audiokniha: Slavný román Hemingwayova souputníka v mistrném překladu Lubomíra Dorůžky. Jazz, láska, peníze a neutuchající naděje. Do New Yorku přijíždí Nick Carraway, mladý muž s představou, že mu všeobecný politický a hospodářský boom dá vydělat prostřednictvím obchodování s cennými papíry. Zabydlí se v malém domku na Long Islandu v sousedství honosného sídla záhadného zbohatlíka Jaye Gatsbyho, na dohled přes záliv k sestřenici Daisy. Právě tahle vyhlídka fascinuje Gatsbyho, který pořádá opulentní večírky plné alkoholu a sexu, jichž se ale sám neúčastní. Jeho velké peníze, velká gesta, velké naděje, „velké oči“ totiž směřují k Daisy Buchananové, k níž chová city z dob, kdy ještě zdaleka nemohl penězi plýtvat. Jenže poválečná doba, zdánlivě tepající extatickými jazzovými rytmy a vidinami lepší budoucnosti, příliš nepřeje snivým dobrodruhům. V nezkracované, více než pětihodinové audioknize se role vypravěče Nicka Carrawaye výtečně zhostil Filip Čapka, herec pražského Švandova divadla a držitel ceny Thálie.

Audiokniha: "Rafinovaný, napínavý román lásky a intrik ze zlatých časů Hollywoodu, to je Fitzgeraldův Poslední kapitán. Příběh skvělých ambicí a podivnou náhodou zrozené milostné vášně stoupá k dramatickým vrcholům a vzápětí se propadá do černých hloubek. Naděje a zoufalství mění v překvapivých chvílích úhel vyprávění a zostřují kontrasty mezi postavami. Osobnost mladého, charismatického a mimořádně schopného filmového producenta, jenž tuší blížící se tragédii, ale dokáže skrývat obavy, se na nejpůsobivějších místech snad vzpírá autorovým prvotním záměrům. Hrdinové románu podléhají v podobných okamžicích nejistotě, zmatkům – a pak v nich k vlastní škodě vášnivě setrvávají.Román, o jehož postavách mnozí tvrdí, že patří k nejživotnějším a nejpřitažlivějším ve světové literatuře, vydáváme v novém překladu, jenž vychází vstříc tajemné a hluboké kráse Fitzgeraldova jazyka."

Between the First World War and the Wall Street Crash the French Riviera was the stylish place for wealthy Americans to visit. Among the most fashionable are psychoanalyst Dick Diver and his wife Nicole, who hold court at their villa. Into their circle comes Rosemary Hoyt, a film star, who is instantly attracted to them, but understands little of the dark secrets and hidden corruption that hold them together. As Dick draws closer to Rosemary, he fractures the delicate structure of his marriage and sets both Nicole and himself on to a dangerous path where only the strongest can survive. In this exquisite, lyrical novel, Fitzgerald has poured much of the essence of his own life; he has also depicted the age of materialism, shattered idealism and broken dreams.

Dramatizace světoznámého románu o vzestupu a pádu psychiatra Dicka Divera. Milionářská dcera Nicole, ne zcela vyléčená z těžké duševní nemoci a hluboce závislá na svém muži-psychiatrovi. Dick, úspěšný lékař, spolumajitel sanatoria pro duševně choré, vděčící však za financování závratné kariéry tučnému kontu své ženy. A do vzájemného vztahu těchto amerických manželů, žijících uprostřed hojnosti na francouzské Riviéře, vstoupí jednoho dne mladičká nadějná herečka Rosemary.Půdorys psychologického románu, který vyšel poprvé roku 1934, skrývá fascinující pohled na život boháčů, kteří si mohou dovolit vše, nač jen pomyslí. Konzumní způsob života autora vždycky fascinoval a uchvacoval, ale dokázal ho podrobit bystré, nemilosrdné kritice, jež je pro jeho psaní charakteristická. Dvojí tvář hlavních hrdinů, působících jako párek spokojených manželů, otvírá další témata, především přetvářku a snobismus. Předností románu je dynamický děj a výborná charakteristika postav. Můžeme na něj nahlížet jako na sociálně kritický dokument 30. a 40. let, zároveň je nutné říci, že román Něžná je noc se stal klasickým a oblíbeným dílem světové literatury 20. století.

The Beautiful and Damned, F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel, tells the story of Anthony Patch, a 1920s socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon's fortune. Anthony and his wife Gloria are young and gorgeous, rich and leisured, and dedicate their lives to the reckless pursuit of happiness. But this intimate story turns tragic, as their marriage disintegrates under the weight of their expectations, dissipation, jealousy and aimlessness. Fitzgerald skilfully portrays the east-coast elite as the Jazz Age begins its ascent, engulfing all classes into what will soon be known as Cafe Society. As with all of Fitzgerald's novels, it is a brilliant character study written in breathtaking prose. It is also a gripping account of the complexities of marriage, largely based on Fitzgerald's relationship with his wife, Zelda.

Written during his tumultuous Hollywood years, a collection of seventeen razor-sharp tales from literary legend F. Scott Fitzgerald, where humor and heartbreak collide through the eyes of a once-successful screenwriter.A fascinating study in self-satire, Fitzgerald pulls back the curtain on the glitz, chaos, and absurdity of the Hollywood movie industry through the eyes of Pat Hobby, a washed-up screenwriter clinging desperately to his faded dreams. Pat’s misadventures offer an entertaining glimpse into the life of a man caught between ambition and reality. Set in 1930s Hollywood—a place where lunchroom gossip held more power than the scripts themselves—Pat’s world is one of desperation and hustle. Once a celebrated writer, he’s now a forgotten relic, scraping by on odd jobs and half-baked schemes. With a drink in one hand and a sarcastic quip in the other, Pat navigates the industry with a blend of cunning and futility. “This was not art, this was an industry,” Pat himself quips, capturing the soul of a system where creativity often takes a backseat to profit. Originally published in Esquire from 1939 to 1940, these stories were born from Fitzgerald’s own struggles as a Hollywood writer. His experiences at Universal Studios shaped every wry line and ...

Sarah Churchwell, author of the acclaimed Careless People: Murder, Mayhem and the Invention of The Great Gatsby, has selected twelve forgotten stories from throughout Fitzgerald''s career that refract, in different ways, his most familiar motifs: the changing meanings of America in the first decades of the twentieth century, and the desire to reconcile rich and poor through a romantic search for glamour, hope and wonder. Each of these stories offers a riff on the theme of America, a world we have lost, but can hear echoes of in Fitzgerald''s characteristically rich, vivid prose.
