George Orwell is a writer whose name has become a symbol of the genre of anti -utopia. The author of the cult “1984” and “cattle yard” - works that were passionately discussed many years ago and continue to discuss just as passionately today. His works have repeatedly filmed.

The collection includes its critical thoughts on a variety of topics - from modern literature and cinema to poetics and politics.
