1984 - Part 1 (of 23)
We begin a classic of political fiction; 1984 by George Orwell. The words "Big Brother is watching you" have made their way into our everyday vocabulary. Written in 1946, many of the themes of the book are as relevant today as they were in the post World War II & pre Cold War era.
This novel contains adult themes, so, younger listeners, please proceed with caution...
