Animal Farm by George Orwell
Available for 300 days
George Orwell's landmark allegory about hypocrisy and corruption of power. The iconic story of a pig-led revolution, and its eventual betrayal, was intended as a seering critique of Russian Communism. However, the book continued to be seen as a pertinent satire throughout the latter half of the 20th century and beyond. This stirring reading is part of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Classic Novels series of unabridged audiobooks - join Napolean, Boxer and the rest of the animals in a rousing chant of "Four legs good, two legs bad" Read by Roger Ringrose. Producer: Ciaran Bermingham
