The English writer, critic, and publicist George Orwell (real name Eric Arthur Blair) is known to readers primarily as the author of the cult novel '1984', Orwell's last work, which, along with Zamyatin's 'We' and Huxley's 'Brave New World', became one of the main dystopian books of the 20th century. This edition includes the famous fable 'Animal Farm' (1945), in which the main themes that were developed a few years later in Orwell's main novel are reflected. As has been noted more than once, 'Animal Farm' is an allegory of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent years of Soviet life, an allegory that has not lost its relevance. The animals in the tale, having driven the owner out of the farm, try to create a just society based on the laws of universal equality. But this turns out to be not such an easy task, since in a society of slaves and masters, freedom and equality are impossible. The book also includes the novel 'Keep the Aspidistra Flying' (1936), an ironic and sad narrative about how the unsuccessful poet John Comstock declared war on the Business God, refusing to live for money, a worthy social status, and other bourgeois values (which he considered symbolized by the aspidistra placed on the windowsill).
