About this listen
George Orwell (1903-1950) was an English novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic, best known for the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945) and the dystopian novel 1984 (1949). Animal Farm is Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution. The farm animals rise up against Farmer Jones and transform the Manor Farm into Animal Farm, an egalitarian society built on the credo that All Animals Are Created Equal. In 1984, the protagonist, Winston Smith ,wrestles with oppression in Oceania, a state where the Party scrutinizes every human action with Big Brother. Defying a ban on individualism, Winston expresses his thoughts in a diary and pursues a relationship with his colleague, Julia. These criminal acts bring Winston to the attention of Big Brother.

Classiques
1984: un "must read". Ce livre devrait être lu par tout le monde à l'école. Big Brother est déjà ici, les géants de la tech, SIRI, ALEXA, etc... Écoutent chez vous 24/7.
Animal Farm : à lire au second degré, bien entendu. L'attrait du pouvoir, la désinformation des gouvernants, l'exploitation des travailleurs en volant le fruit de leur labeur pour une élite corrompue, ça vous rappelle pas une certaine réalité?
Un auteur visionnaire!

The greatest case for free speech ever made
This should be required reading in schools. (note occasional minor racial comments in 1984)
The character voicing in the performance is probably the best I've ever experienced.

What a read!
I read this in a day thanks to Audible. What a great way to use analogies to explain society. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in evaluating different systems and picking the best ones after examining all pros and cons. 4/5 highly recommend

Narrator over pronounces.
The 1984 story was hard to listen to, the narrator had to pronounce every sound of every word and it was very aggravating. Such as “nighT anD Day”, instead of conversational speaking. It felt like a computer was speaking. Also the pauses in between sentences were too long. The Animal Farm story was a bit better because of the English accent.
