Publisher's Summary
Audible Studios presents two new recordings of George Orwell's most celebrated novels – 1984 and Animal Farm – with exclusive introductions, written and performed by Stephen Fry.
1984

Animal Farm
One of the most influential works of the 20th century. A socio-political allegory that reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Set in a farmyard, where the animals decide to seize the farmer's land and create a co-operative that reaps the benefits of their combined labours. Four legs good, two legs bad....

very ranty
the narrations by Stephen Fry is amazing, you are transported, my only bone with this book is that in 1984, chapter 9 of book 2, is so ranty, it goes on for an hour and 30 mins plus, just ranting on and on about nothing in particular, just so annoying having to hear an hour of nonstop rant, skip that chapter it does not add any value to the book, that you already didn't know

Mind bending dark story
Orwell’s description of the acts of an evil, totalitarian regime will give you goosebumps. You basically live every moment of the dystopian era as you listen to the audiobook. The feeling of restlessness, helplessness and utter disgust at the regime’s ideology increases as the story progresses. This book will make you appreciate the world of freedom we currently live in as things could horribly wrong in the future.

Excellent book, awesome narration
I enjoyed 1984, but animal farm even more.
Though the books were written before more than half a century, they still stay relatable. Enjoy :)

Story for everyone
Those are the books which everyone should read or listen . Stories in those books are for everybody, every time and every age . Those books teach us in which path humanity should not go, anyway in any cost . After listening this two books I understood the real value of my freedom . In 1984 there is a line that added “Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows” there is a deep meaning have this line about the freedom of speech the real meaning of freedom . After so many years this books are still relevant and will be relevant for years to come for humanity . Those books teach us if anyone's freedom violates other humans should be stand up for their support because if anyone will not stand up for others freedom at a time when there freedom will violate no one remains to support them . (at last in my opinion values of humanity and true democratic values are the greatest shield and saviour of a human )

Excellent Oration and story...
Very well narrated work of genius. Both the stories are very well written and hold hidden meaning even as fiction the writing is entertaining. And it is performed by Stephen Fry so can't really complain.

The tonalities and the art of narration in keeping with the sheer relevance of the story
Liked everything as a whole. A perfect novel for listening. Both Orwell and Fry come together in this tale forever.

Best Dystopia I've Ever Read
This book was incredible. It almost felt like a prophecy. Orwell is truly a master.
Stephen Fry is incredible!!! His reading makes it scarier, creepier and beautiful.

Orwell collection
An extraordinary performance by Stephan Fry. I had read the novel in my youth. But hearing this brought them to life. The frightening 1984 tells you that threat has not gone away.
