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

Animal Farm is George Orwell's great socio-political allegory 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. However, as with all great political plans, some animals see a bigger share of the rewards than others and the animals start to question their supposed utopia.

When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless elite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another.

This audiobook includes unabridged recordings of all George Orwell's greatest works: six novels, three books of non-fiction, a collection of his most well-renowned essays and the complete collection of his poetry.

George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel - a scathing satire on a downtrodden society's blind march towards totalitarianism. The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, however, the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon.

George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm are urgent examinations of how power is seized and abused. This collection explores the depths of totalitarianism and the creeping corruption that turns liberators into oppressors.

The animals of Manor Farm are in the midst of a revolution. Overworked and mistreated, they set themselves against Mr Jones and with flaming idealism and stirring slogans they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice and equality; only to find that revolution isn’t always so simple.

Animal Farm - the history of a revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power.

But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges....

Djuren genomför revolutionen och bonden mr Jones drivs bort. De grundar en ny filosofi som de kallar animalismen och sjunger sin egen kampsång. Bondgården döps om till Djurens gård och djuren föreställer sig att detta är början på ett liv i frihet och jämlikhet. Men gradvis införs en slug och hänsynslös elit som styrs av den intellektuellt överlägsna grisen Napoleon.

La satira classica della rivoluzione russa di George Orwell è una parte intima della nostra cultura contemporanea, citata così spesso che tendiamo a dimenticare chi ha scritto le parole originali. È un resoconto della coraggiosa lotta che trasforma la fattoria terriera del signor Jones in fattoria degli animali, una società interamente democratica costruita sul credo che tutti gli animali sono creati uguali. Per intelligenza, i maiali Napoleone, Squealer e Palla di neve emergono come leader della nuova comunità in una sottile evoluzione che porta una insidiosa familiarità.

Mr. Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, is a lazy drunk. The animals decide to overthrow him in a revolution that will allow them to run the farm, liberating themselves and creating a new life of equality and freedom. But they have underestimated the pigs. Napoleon and Snowball form an elite and take control for themselves, and the tyranny of the farmer is replaced with another kind of control leaving the animals again subject to a ruthless and cruel authority.

La Fattoria degli Animali di George Orwell è una satira politica e un'opera allegorica che esplora il tema della corruzione del potere. Ambientato in una fattoria, gli animali si ribellano contro il loro padrone, aspirando a un'utopia egualitaria. Tuttavia, l'ideale "Tutti gli Animali Sono Uguali" viene distorto dai nuovi leader, portando a un regime altrettanto tirannico. Il romanzo, famoso per slogan come "Quattro zampe buone, due zampe cattive", critica l'uso di slogan per manipolare l'opinione pubblica.
