BBC Radio 4 Extra - Animal Farm by George Orwell

The landmark allegory about hypocrisy and corruption of power.

4 Extra Debut. The landmark allegory about hypocrisy and corruption of power. Unabridged and read by Roger Ringrose.

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 BBC'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
