Deal Details
Audible via Amazon has Audible Audiobooks by George Orwell on sale for prices listed below.

Note, it is $0.05 less to buy each audiobook separately, compared to buying the bundle.Thanks to Community Members EbooksLover & gaping46and2 for finding this deal.

About these books:
  • Animal Farm
    • 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. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell's masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.
  • 1984
    • George Orwell's nineteen Eighty-Four is one of the most definitive texts of modern literature. Set in Oceania, one of the three inter-continental superstate that divided the world among themselves after a global war, Orwell's masterful critique of the political structures of the time, works itself out through the story of Winston Smith, a man caught in the webs of a dystopian future, and his clandestine love affair with Julia, a young woman he meets during the course of his work for the government. As much as it is an entertaining read, nineteen Eighty-Four is also a brilliant, and more importantly, a timeless satirical attack on the social and political structures of the world.

I think I would be more interested if we weren't living them right now.

Both are fantastic books. I never thought we would be living them literally. I want to stop living this 1984 lifestyle. Definitely will be voting in 2022.

If only the hard copies were this cheap, I want to put a book inside my car when I visit SF.

Thanks for that.

Looking though his YouTube channel, they're working on Animal Farm, and hope to have it out in May.

Was a much better book when it was still fiction, not reality.

Are these thought-crime books even allowed to be read in public schools anymore?

Quote from Marknhl :
Do you need an audible subscription to listen to these? I don't have one, so apologies if that question doesn't make sense… I know audible often works in credits.
No, anything you purchase at Audible is yours.

The credits are basically discounted books, 1 credit is good for one purchase. Depending on your plan they cost ~$10-15. While Audible sells books for $20-35+.

Within the last year they rolled out Audible Plus which is an additional service. This is a library of books you can access while you have an active sub. If you let your sub expire, you can no longer access those books. But anything you've purchased with credits or cash is still accessible in your library whether you have a sub or not.

Was 30% cheaper (0.66 each) for me, assuming because I have an active audible plan. Great find, thanks!

Fun fact: Amazon, in 2009 I think it was, mysteriously deleted 1984 from some peoples' kindle libraries. It was later restored after people escalated. Weird.

No mystery.. they just F'ed up; sold books they didn't have the rights to, delted them off peoples devices, got called on it, apologized for being dimwits, lost a subsequent lawsuit. & provided refunds.

Not weird at all for Amazon.

Get out of here with your easily-verifiable facts. Let the other slickdealers continue to ruin this site by bringing politics , conspiracies, and half-truths into every single thread. Remember when posts and comments were just about the deal? PepperidgeFarmsRemembers.jpg

regular price is only 99c ea. One thing that worked out for me is that the combo on the kindle store was only 35c. Each book alone is $9.99.
