Publisher's Summary

War Is Peace! Freedom Is Slavery! Ignorance Is Strength! Big Brother is watching and listening. Yep, we're talking propaganda, the fabrication of "truth", the outlawing of dissent, the distortion of reality, endless war... and of course, thought crime. No we're not talking about the goings on on 2011, were talking about the 1949 NBC University Theater's adaptation of George Orwell's 1984. This production originally aired on August 27, 1949, but is available today for your listening enjoyment. This is the very first adaptation of 1984 and it stars David Niven!

    "Horrible audio for a great classic"

    The audio quality is really awful.
    If you' ve got good ears, noise and distorsion proof, this is for you!

    Story
    "1984"

    This book has always been on my list of books to read but never got around to it. We were supposed to read it at school but I never did. I actually bought a copy in 1984 to read but never did. This dramatised version was fun to listen to and I have listened to it many times already. Audio books are a great way of getting those must reads sorted - while ironing, walking the dog, waiting around for trains. Love it, love it, love it and recommend it for those who want to find out the origin of Big Brother and room 101. Furthermore, David Niven's narration adds a classic tone that is a smooth, suave added bonus.
