Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell | Read by Peter Capaldi | Penguin Audiobooks

Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith skilfully rewrites the past to suit the needs of the Party. Yet he inwardly rebels against the totalitarian world he lives in, which demands absolute obedience and controls him through the all-seeing telescreens and the watchful eye of Big Brother, symbolic head of the Party. In his longing for truth and liberty, Smith begins a secret love affair with a fellow-worker Julia, but soon discovers the true price of freedom is betrayal.

capaldi narrating is what i didn't know i needed in life

[fullriver]

It’s Capaldi how can I NOT listen to this

[redtaperecorder]

Capaldi is, hands-down, the best book narrator I have ever heard. I highly recommend you check out his reading of 'Watership Down', if you haven't heard it already!

Me: It can't be that good.

Peter Capaldi: "It was a bright, cold day in April... And the clocks were striking 13."

Me: OUCH. Okay. I get it! It's THAT good!

Peter narrating one of my favourite books out there is absolutely brilliant! I love listening to him talk

I love that lil penguin logo, since a very young age it always meant a good read and now a good listen. Great book, excellent narrator, thanks to all!

This is so very good. What an excellent narrator.

[meridafire-heart]

It’s not available in my country and now I’m sad. I love Peter Capaldi’s narration, he makes it so engaging!

[HecticTrainGuy]

Hey man, This is simply The Doctor recalling something he has seen not narrating a book

[gabrielromeroguerrero]

Hey, I am actually reading it. Thanks for this upload. It came right on time

[dylzidia]

Can you ask Suzanne Collins to read the full Hunger Games with her version of Katniss' voice. I just think that would be really awesome

[thesandwich]

It always scares me how close this comes to the 21st century.

[lindamuvic]

Good book, and read by Peter Capaldi, zounds.

[ThePhenakistoscope]

feels like the doctor is reading me a book

[hiker]

Damn Audible! Can’t get this in the US.🤬

[valentinacerda]

gracias tatita capaldi, me va a salvar el año ❤

[erinehmen]

is it the case this can only be found at Audible for the UK but nor elsewhere? Is there a way to get it elsewhere? Peter's voice sounds amazing as usual.

[oyveyoyvey]

[mellomojared]
