Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald, read by Eric Webster 

Love this version with the different voices and sound effects. Made it much more exciting.

An excellent narration of great writing. Thanks

A few years ago I read about the death of a woman whom I viewed as a neighborhood goddess a long long time ago when she was very , very, young. -and without ever getting to know her intimately or even as a friend . Her death notice seemed rather shabby , lonely , and sad . And I thought about the last few paragraphs of F .Scott Fitzgerald 's " Winter Dreams ": [ " The dream was gone. Something had been taken from him. In a sort of panic he pushed the palms of his hands into his eyes and tried to bring up a picture of the waters lapping on Sherry Island and the moonlit veranda, and gingham on the golf-links and the dry sun and the gold color of her neck's soft down. And her mouth damp to his kisses and her eyes plaintive with melancholy and her freshness like new fine linen in the morning. Why, these things were no longer in the world! They had existed and they existed no longer. For the first time in years the tears were streaming down his face. But they were for himself now. He did not care about mouth and eyes and moving hands. He wanted to care, and he could not care. For he had gone away and he could never go back any more. The gates were closed, the sun was gone down, and there was no beauty but the gray beauty of steel that withstands all time. Even the grief he could have borne was left behind in the country of illusion, of youth, of the richness of life, where his winter dreams had flourished. "Long ago," he said, "long ago, there was something in me, but now that thing is gone. Now that thing is gone, that thing is gone. I cannot cry. I cannot care. That thing will come back no more . " ]

Mmm. Reading the comments, Internationally “Why can’t we be friends “. Thank you for posting. Love the narrator, story flows well, like Daddy reading me a bedtime story:)

Well done, except for the intrusive and unnecessary music track, which manages only to be irritating.

Must everything be contentious? Ok then, North or South America? The United States OF America.

Music sound effects. No

This version skips parts of the story and replaces random words. Disappointing!

Might be a classic but I didn't like it.

omg dramatic reading. Ghastly.
