Classic Tales Audiobooks · Dalyrimple Goes Wrong (Sample)

Bryan Dalyrimple returns to his hometown as a war hero after World War I. But after the ticker tape parades and back-slapping handshakes, and he finds himself stuck in a dead-end job with little room for advancement, frustration begins to mount. He decides to turn to the only option left for him – crime.

Originally published in the 1920 short story collection Flappers and Philosophers, Fitzgerald shines a light on the sentiment toward the returning doughboys of World War I, and the dwindling opportunities awaiting them upon their return.

Classic Tales Audiobooks · The Great Gatsby Retail Sample

Awful, rich people- and the folks who want to be just like them.

Drawing freely from the real people and actual events of its setting in 1920s Long Island (with literary license, of course), The Great Gatsby looks at the acquisition of the American Dream of wealth, power, and prestige, and what the costs are to those who realize that dream. And if that sounds a bit too highbrow for you, there are speakeasies, a broken nose, wild parties, and a bit of rough and tumble as well.

The Great Gatsby has made its way into the canon of required reading for many American high schools for its richness of symbolism, its mystery, and its beautiful prose.Awful, rich people- and the folks who want to be just like them.

Buy Now: ~~$2.99~~ $2.49

Benjamin Button was literally born an old man. He lived a backwards life, for his body grew younger as the years passed him by. Come and listen to the original, unabridged story by F. Scott Fitzgerald which inspired the movie. This recording was a bestseller at the iTunes Music Store for 6 weeks, beginning in January 2008. Running time: 1 hour, 6 minutes. Listener review: I've been listening to B.J. Harrison's podcast and audio books for several years, and I think he is the best reader of literature you can find. It has been a joy to rediscover classics I read in high school, books I always "meant" to read someday, or completely new authors. It is amazing how he captures the accents and character differences in his voice, and has a real knack for comedy timing too! That would especially be the case of Benjamin Button — charming and witty, and just a lot of fun!!!! -Dawn, review from Audible.com
