  • Listen to the first two chapters of George Orwell's classic, Ninteen Eighty-Four read by Peter Capaldi. Download the full audiobook here: adbl.co/3eg27Mk
    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 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!

    I always thought Peter Capaldi was a bit bit a knob but this was pretty good. Rather restricted variety of tone though
    for a professional actor ?

    • @DoctorDisco429
      @DoctorDisco429 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I believe this book is supposed to contain a lack of varietal within tone considering the material? And this isn't acting or even voice acting really, it's simply reading.
