Animal Farm and 1984 - George Orwell

Descriere

Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution, the account of the struggle initiated by the animals that transforms Mr. Jones's Manor Farm into Animal Farm, is paired with 1984, a succinct, frightening tale that has remained a potent reminder of the fate of those who suffer under totalitarian regimes. This edition features George Orwell's best known novels - 1984 and Animal Farm - with an introduction by Christopher Hitchens. In 1984 , London is a grim city where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith joins a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be. Animal Farm is Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution -- an account of the bold struggle, initiated by the animals, that transforms Mr. Jones's Manor Farm into Animal Farm--a wholly democratic society built on the credo that All Animals Are Created Equal. But are they?
