What to expect

The George Orwell Fiction Collection contains unabridged recordings of the 6 full-length novels written by one of the twentieth century's finest writers and political commentators. Orwell's writing is defined by a distinctive blend of clarity, political urgency, and stylistic restraint, as seen in the warnings against totalitarianism found in the dystopian novel 1984, the biting social commentary of Keep the Aspidistra Flying, the thoughtful examination of the effects of empire on occupier and occupied of Burmese Days, and the tension between nostalgia and progress seen in the darkly comic Coming Up for Air.
The titles included in this collection, in order of appearance, are:


  • 1984 (read by Hugh Kermode)
  • Animal Farm (read by Leighton Pugh)
  • Burmese Days (read by Leighton Pugh)
  • Coming Up for Air (read by Jonathan Oliver)
  • Keep the Aspidistra Flying (read by Roger May)
  • A Clergyman's Daughter (read by Karen Cass)


Born Eric Arthur Blair, George Orwell (1903-1950) was a British novelist, essayist, and critic famous for his insightful social and political commentary. His personal engagement with real world issues imbues his work with a sense of social conscience that continues to resonate with readers, and his two most famous novels, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
