"Brave New World," by Aldous Huxley, is a satirical journey into a dystopian future where happiness comes in a pill, babies are grown in bottles, and the World State's motto is "Community, Identity, Stability." In this world, people don't read books; they get feelies, sort of like movies that you can touch and smell. The citizens are engineered for their roles, from the intellectually superior Alphas to the not-so-bright Epsilons. Enter our hero, Bernard Marx, who's a bit too short for an Alpha and has a serious case of 'not fitting in.' When he brings back a 'savage' from a reservation, things get a bit awkward, especially at parties. Huxley's masterpiece is a wry, clever poke at the idea of a 'perfect society,' where everyone is blissfully ignorant, and the biggest dilemma is whether to take your soma before or after dinner. Get ready for a wild ride through a world that's as hilariously absurd as it is frighteningly possible.

In late 1927, at the age of twenty-four, George Orwell relocated to a tiny flat on London's Portobello Road, and from there embarked on a series of exploratory "tramping? expeditions to the city's East End, then a place of great squalor and deprivation. Later he moved to Paris's bohemian Latin Quarter, where, in early 1929, during a bout of serious illness, he was the victim of a robbery that left him in a state of near destitution, forcing him to work punishing hours in a series of menial jobs, including as a restaurant dishwasher. These real-life experiences laid the foundations for what would be the young writer's first full-length work.Populated by a troupe of colourful characters, replete with penetrating observations and cast in the limpid prose that would become Orwell's hallmark, Down and Out in Paris and London - published by Victor Gollancz in 1933 - provides both an invaluable historical snapshot and an insight into the perennial social evils of inequality, poverty and alienation.

"Big Brother is Watching You.""Orthodoxy means not thinking--not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.""If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-forever."¿ George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-FourNineteen Eighty-Four: A Novel (1949), a dystopian novel by George Orwell, is a brilliant work of fiction exposing totalitarianism.

Overworked, mistreated animals on a farm revolt and take control over it. They set out to create an ideal space brimming with the ideas of progress, justice, and equality only to result in an equally problematic environment. This makes the backdrop of one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, this book chronicles the evolution from revolution against tyranny to totalitarianism just as terrible. An allegory on the Soviet regime, Animal Farm was banned in the Eastern bloc and is one of the great political works of the 20th Century.

Homage to Catalonia is George Orwell's personal account of his experiences and observations fighting in the Spanish Civil War for the POUM militia of the Republican army.Published in 1938 (about a year before the war ended) with little commercial success, it gained more attention in the 1950s following the success of Orwell's better-known works Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949).Covering the period between December 1936 and June 1937, Orwell recounts Catalonia's revolutionary fervor during his training in Barcelona, his boredom on the front lines in Aragon, his involvement in the interfactional May Days conflict back in Barcelona on leave, his getting shot in the throat back on the front lines, and his escape to France after the POUM was declared an illegal organization.The war was one of the defining events of his political outlook and a significant part of what led him to write in 1946, ""Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.""

«Orwell told the truth.» Christopher Hitchens Der dystopische Klassiker der Weltliteratur in neuer Übersetzung Winston Smith ist Mitarbeiter im Ministerium der Wahrheit und er macht zwei entscheidende Fehler: Er verliebt sich in seine Kollegin Julia, und er stellt die totalitäre Welt, in der sie jederzeit vom sogenannten »Big Brother« überwacht werden, infrage. Das ist im Weltreich Ozeanien eine Todsünde. Orwell, laut »Observer« der größte Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts, gelang mit seiner beklemmenden Vision einer Staatsdiktatur, die kein Privatleben duldet, sondern die Gedanken und Gefühle der Bürger bis ins Letzte diktiert, ein Großklassiker der Moderne. Totalitärer Überwachungsstaat, Entmündigung des Individuums, lückenlose Observation und Manipulation, Gehirnwäsche und Geschichtsfälschung - selten hat eine bei Erscheinen noch völlig absurd anmutende Dystopie die Zukunft der Menschheit so exakt und visionär vorhergesagt wie dieser Bestseller aus dem Jahre 1948. PENGUIN EDITION. Zeitlos, kultig, bunt.

Alle werden ständig von Kameras und Abhörgeräten beobachtet. Sie sollen hart arbeiten und an nichts Falsches denken. Das ist es, was der Große Bruder will. Aber Winston rebelliert, zusammen mit seiner Freundin Julia. Und das hat schreckliche Folgen ...1984 ist ein Buch über Macht und Wahrheit. Es ist ein berühmtes Buch und wurde in viele Sprachen der Welt übersetzt.

A Clergyman's Daughter is a 1935 novel by English author George Orwell. It tells the story of Dorothy Hare, the clergyman's daughter of the title, whose life is turned upside down when she suffers an attack of amnesia. It is Orwell's most formally experimental novel, featuring a chapter written entirely in dramatic form, but he was never satisfied with it and he left instructions that after his death it was not to be reprinted. Despite these instructions, Orwell did consent to the printing of cheap editions "of any book which may bring in a few pounds for my heirs" following his death.

"First published in 1934, Burmese Days is a novel by George Orwell. Set in British Burma during the waning days of the Empire, it is ""a portrait of the dark side of the British Raj."" The story is based on Orwell's own experiences as a police officer in Burma. The main character of the novel is John Flory and he represents what is known as the ""pukka sahib"" who upholds British values and the British way of life. Flory is deliberately contrasted with other British residents of the area, however, he has real respect for the local culture and is not bigoted as the others. The others stand for the more normal course of British imperialism, with the British exercising power over people for whom they have contempt. The strong pessimism of Orwell is seen in the way Flory is marginalized by the British community precisely because he is not the bigot others are and so, Flory cannot survive in this atmosphere and commits suicide."

George Orwell is one of the world's most influential writers, the visionary author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-four and non-fiction classics Down and Out in Paris in London, The Road toWigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia.George Orwell was born Eric Blair in India in 1903 into a comfortable'lower-upper-middle class' family. Orwell's father had served the British Empire, and Orwell's own first job was as a policeman in Burma. Orwell wrote in "Shooting an Elephant" (1936) that his time in the police force had shown him the "dirty work of Empire at close quarters"; the experience made him a lifelong foe of imperialism.By the time of his death in 1950, he was world-renowned as a journalist and author: for his eyewitness reporting on war (shot in the neck in Spain) and poverty (tramping in London, washing dishes in Paris or visiting pits and the poor in Wigan); for his political and cultural commentary, where he stood up to power and said the unsayable ('If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear'); and for his fiction, including two of the most popular novels ever written: Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four.

George Orwell's celebrated novella, Animal Farm, is a biting, allegorical, political satire on totalitarianism in general and Stalinism in particular. One of the most famous works in modern English literature, it is a telling comment on Soviet Russia under Stalin's brutal dictatorship based on a cult of personality which was enforced through a reign of terror. The book tells a seemingly simple story of farm animals who rebel against their master in the hope of stopping their exploitation at the hand of humans and creating a society where animals would be equal, free and happy. Ultimately, however, the rebellion is betrayed and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before. The novel thus demonstrates how easily good intentions can be subverted into tyranny.Orwell has himself said that it was the first book in which he had tried, with full consciousness of what he was doing, 'to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole.' The book was first published in England in 1945, and has since then remained a favourite with readers all over the world, and has consistently been included in all prestigious bestseller lists for the past many years.

Animal Farm is regarded in the literary field as one of the most famous satirical allegories of Soviet totalitarianism. Orwell based the book on events up to and during Joseph Stalin's regime. Orwell, a democratic socialist and a member of the Independent Labour Party for many years, was a critic of Stalin and was suspicious of Moscow-directed Stalinism after his experiences in the Spanish Civil War.The plot is an allegory in which the pigs in a farm play the role of the Bolshevik revolutionaries and overthrow and oust the human owners of the farm, setting it up as a commune in which, at first, all animals are equal. The other characters have their parallels in the real world, but care should be taken with these comparisons as they do not always match history exactly and often simply represent generalised concepts.The novel was chosen by TIME Magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present.

Nineteen Eighty-Four, Often Published as 1984, is a Dystopian novel by English writer George Orwell published in June 1949, whose themes centre on the risks of government overreach, totalitarianism and repressive regimentation of all persons and behaviours within society.

Burmese Days is the first novel by English writer George Orwell. Set in British Burma during the waning days of Empire, when Burma was ruled from Delhi as part of British India, it is "a portrait of the dark side of the British Raj." At the centre of the novel is John Flory, "the lone and lacking individual trapped within a bigger system that is undermining the better side of human nature. The novel describes "both indigenous corruption and imperial bigotry" in a society where, "after all, natives were natives-interesting, no doubt, but finally...an inferior people".

Now presented in a new annotated edition, The Road to Wigan Pier represents a unique record of a society riven by class inequality and plagued by unemployment, inadequate housing, unsafe working conditions and other social ills, as well as providing an invaluable insight into the evolution of Orwell's political consciousness.

Era un día luminoso y frío de abril y los relojes daban las trece. Winston Smith, con la barbilla clavada en el pecho en su esfuerzo por burlar el molestísimo viento, se deslizó rápidamente por entre las puertas de cristal de las Casas de la Victoria, aunque no con la suficiente rapidez para evitar que una ráfaga polvorienta se colara con él. El vestíbulo olía a legumbres cocidas y a esteras viejas. Al fondo, un cartel de colores, demasiado grande para hallarse en un interior, estaba pegado a la pared. Representaba sólo un enorme rostro de más de un metro de anchura: la cara de un hombre de unos cuarenta y cinco años con un gran bigote negro y facciones hermosas y endurecidas. Winston se dirigió hacia las escaleras. Era inútil intentar subir en el ascensor. No funcionaba con frecuencia y en esta época la corriente se cortaba durante las horas de día. Esto era parte de las restricciones con que se preparaba la Semana del Odio. Winston tenía que subir a un séptimo piso. Con sus treinta y nueve años y una úlcera de várices por encima del tobillo derecho, subió lentamente, descansando varias veces. En cada descansillo, frente a la puerta del ascensor, el cartelón del enorme rostro miraba desde el muro. Era uno de esos dibujos realizados de tal manera que los ojos le siguen a uno adondequiera que esté. EL GRAN HERMANO TE VIGILA, decían las palabras al pie.
