Blackstone Audio presents a new recording of this immensely popular book.

George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police, a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities’ will and people live tepid lives by rote.

Winston Smith, the hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him. He knows even as he continues to pursue his forbidden love affair that eventually he will come to destruction.

The year 1984 has come and gone, yet George Orwell’s nightmare vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is still the great modern classic of negative Utopia. It is a prophetic and haunting tale that exposes the worst crimes imaginable: the destruction of freedom and truth.

This was a great book! I loved it. The narrator was very good and used his voice superbly. Love Blackstone audio!
A simply wonderful app: great games, neat pictures, and an amazing reader who does great voices :) definitely worth the purchase!!!
One of the best audio books Ive ever listened too! No problems with it working

Some bad moments

It was great at first. However about halfway through the book the sound just stopped working. The only way to hear it is to turn the volume all the way up and even then it is too quiet and not audible. The recording is good. Too bad I CANT HEAR IT!!!!
All I can hear is a humming sound. 0/0, I want my money back.
