1984. Animal Farm

George Orwell, an English writer, critic, and publicist, entered the annals of literature primarily thanks to his last novel '1984'. The book was published in 1949, has been reprinted many times, and has been translated into 60 languages. Alongside the novels 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley and 'We' by Yevgeny Zamyatin, Orwell's book became one of the main dystopias of the 20th century. The society of the future depicted by the author is based on total lack of freedom for the individual, propaganda, and open violence, which, according to the author's bitter and formidable prediction, triumphed in the fictional state of Oceania by 1984. However, the structure of this state easily reveals the features of any totalitarian regime. This collection also includes the famous satirical fable 'Animal Farm', which thematically is related to the novel '1984'. The animals in the fable, having driven out the farm owner, try to create a just society based on the laws of universal equality. But this turns out to be not such an easy task, because, as stated in the novel: 'All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others'.
