Förlagets information

George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm are two of the most influential novels of the 20th century: works of biting political satire, echoing the tumultuous years after World War II. In Animal Farm [1945], Orwell examines the mechanisms of Stalinism through an allegory of animals revolting against their human owner, and taking control of their farm. 1984 [1949] extends the view into the future: The country of Oceania has implemented a society of control, hostile to freedom and humanity at all levels, especially in and as language. Constant surveillance prevails - 'Big Brother Is Watching You' - and any deviation is ruthlessly punished.

Few works of literature have had an impact equalling 1984. Orwell's uncanny ability to predict societal trends makes it - along with Animal Farm - as relevant today as when it was first published.

GEORGE ORWELL was born in India in 1903, and died in London in 1950. As a journalist, critic, and author, he was a keen observer of his time and its political conditions and consequences.
