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.

Bringing the Best of George Orwell's 1984 & Animal Farm together.
Nineteen Eighty-Four:

A Novel, often published as 1984, is a dystopian novel. A startling and haunting novel, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions - a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

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.

This YouTube version of 1984 is the best audiobook you will ever hear. Very creative.

I listened to both on audible last year. The narration of each of fantastic!
I think I would be more interested if we weren't living them right now.

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

Why pay for this? My library has the audiobook free on Libby. You've already paid for it, make a $0.85 donation to your library instead of Amazon.

Because the library book has to be returned. This is yours forever. Can you not spare .85 cents?

Will Alexa read 1984 to me or is it against her programming?

As far as I am aware, you are borrowing the Audiobook like you borrow any regular book or e-book from the library. They may be free, but the time you can have them loaned out is limited. At least thats how it works at my library. This deal is a purchase that you own, so there is not a time limit.

Is it the same narrator voice thru the whole book or is there different voices for the characters? It would keep the kids more engaged, and I can take a break from reading to them for a couple of nights and relax with them.They love when I attempt different voices ;-). Thanks PS the best Animal Farm movie was TNT's in 1999 they used live animals.

Just a friendly reminder...

This is a deal thread about the audiobooks, 1984 and Animal Farm, NOT a place to talk politics or bolster or "sell" one's own political interpretation of current events. Mods would have far less to remove if the discussion was kept focused solely on the deal itself, and posted in accordance to the rules found here: https://slickdeals.net/f/40596-rules-faq-tips-store-contact-info-common-abbreviations?v=1.

Thanks!

Are these thought-crime books even allowed to be read in public schools anymore?
Well there was news last week that a university slapped a 'trigger warning' [dailymail.co.uk] that some students may find 1984 offensive.

Anyway both books are well worth reading. And I'd actually recommend the animated movie of Animal Farm over the book (the book is quite short so not much needed to be cut). On the other hand I'd recommend not watching the 1984 movie - this one badly needs a remake

I thought the imagery was striking. Of course I had imagined certain things differently when I read the book. Best to read the book first before watching the movie, as is usually the case
