George Orwell was perhaps the twentieth century's best chronicler of English culture and one of our most significant political thinkers.
Best known for his chilling dystopia Nineteen-Eighty Four and the disturbing parable of Animal Farm, Orwell also turned his attention to subjects as wide-ranging as life amidst abject poverty, the strictures of a religious upbringing, the perils of British imperialism, the loss of innocence and the disillusionment of middle age. He centered his works on the characters involved and his pen captured the hopes and struggles of ordinary people as they attempted to live their lives.
Includes:
• 1984
• Animal Farm
• Homage to Catalonia
• The Road to Wigan Pier
• Down and Out in London and Paris
