SynopsisWith extraordinary relevance and renewed popularity, George Orwell's 1984 takes on new life in this hardcover edition. "Orwell saw, to his credit, that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions. It is, above all, a way of asserting power."--The New Yorker In 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be. Lionel Trilling said of Orwell's masterpiece "1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. It is a fantasy of the political future, and like any such fantasy, serves its author as a magnifying device for an examination of the present." Though the year 1984 now exists in the past, Orwell's novel remains an urgent call for the individual willing to speak truth to power., George Orwell's famous satire of the Soviet Union, in which "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.", With extraordinary relevance and renewed popularity, George Orwell's Animal Farm takes on new life in this hardcover edition. The animals of Manor Farm have revolted and taken over. Upon the death of Old Major, pigs Snowball and Napoleon lead a revolt against Mr. Jones, driving him from the farm. The animals embrace the Seven Commandments of Animalism and life carries on, but they learn that a farm ruled by animals looks more human than ever. Intended as a critique of Stalinist-era Russia, Orwell's satirical novella Animal Farm is one of his greatest literary achievements. Animal Farm was chosen as one of Time magazine's 100 best English-language novels, and won a Retrospective Hugo Award in 1996. Since 1832, Mariner Books has launched an incomparable roster of landmark works and enduring classics, including 1984 and Animal Farm. This Mariner Classics edition of Animal Farm is authorized by the Orwell Estate.
