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.

Winston Smith works in the Ministry of Truth - or Minitrue as it is called in Newspeak - altering newspapers and reports to follow the arbitrary dictates of Big Brother’s propaganda.

Animal Farm is an allegorical satire of the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917, and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Orwell described the book as a satirical tale against Stalin and went on to say that it was the first book in which he tried “to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole”. All of the leading figures involved in this period are parodied as various animals.

George S. Clason takes financial understanding back to its roots, where property and prosperity were first explored by the Babylonians. Utilizing parables and metaphors set in ancient Babylon, Clason expounds on how to get out of debt, increase savings, build passive income, and more.

Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must...and a dead enemy is a thing of beauty. The old gods have no power in the south, Stark’s family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse, the vengeance-mad heir of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He claims the Iron Throne.

In Oceania, one of three totalitarian states that rule the world, Big Brother is watching. The Thought Police are listening. Reality is defined by the Party. And in London, at the Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith’s job is to rewrite history. His dream, however, is to rebel. Winston is beginning to think for himself. In defiance of the State, he falls into a criminal love affair with his coworker Julia. But it isn’t until he joins the Brotherhood, an underground network of revolutionaries, that Winston discovers how high the cost of freedom may be.

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.

Totul se petrece într-un București în care sunt prezentate cozi la alimente, uleiul și zahărul se dau pe cartelă, străzile sunt luminate anemic, apa caldă nu curge la robinete, telefoanele sunt ascultate, cetățenii sunt supravegheați zi și noapte. Un oraș în care domnește frica. Și astăzi unii se întreabă cum de a trecut de cenzură un roman în care anchetatorul nu este un reprezentant al autorităților și în care deseori se râde de cutumele unei epoci pe care propaganda o considera de "aur".

După întâlnirea cu un miliardar misterios, Andrei Mladin se pomenește internat într-un sanatoriu unde se petrec lucruri sinistre. În timpul supliciului găsește indicii care par să arate legătura dintre ATHANARIC și disparițiile multor personalități din istorie, printre care și a celui mai mare poet al românilor. Și, nu în ultimul rând, a unui tânăr care se zbătea din răsputeri să ajungă pe un tărâm al libertății și ale cărui aripi au fost frânte definitiv.
