* "It is an astonishing tribute to Orwell's gifts as a natural, unaffected writer that, although the historical events he is unfolding are all too bitterly familiar, the reader turns the page as though he did not know what was going to happen. Here, then, is a social, literary, and political history... which, while being intensely personal never forgets its allegiance to objective truth." -THE ECONOMIST

Essays, journalism and essays by the indispensable George Orwell, spanning the first two decades of his writing career. Even many years after his death, the more we read of Orwell, the more clearly we can think about our world and ourselves. Orwell's breadth of experience, compassion, and political insight make his early essays among his best. Here he witnesses two kinds of executions in Burma ("A Hanging" and "Shooting an Elephant"), fires sa...

«No creo que la sociedad que he descrito en 1984 necesariamente llegue a ser una realidad, pero sí creo que puede llegar a existir algo parecido», escribía Orwell después de publicar su novela. Corría el año 1948, y la realidad se ha encargado de convertir esa pieza -entonces de ciencia ficción- en un manifiesto de la realidad. En el año 1984 Londres es una ciudad lúgubre en la que la Policía del Pensamiento controla de forma asfixiante la vid...

George Orwell foi um libertário. "A Revolução dos Bichos", em suas metáforas, revela uma aversão a toda espécie de autoritarismo, seja ele familiar, comunitário, estatal, capitalista ou comunista. A obra é de uma genial atualidade. Apesar de tudo o que alguns poucos homens já fizeram e lutaram, ainda estamos e vivemos sob os que insistem em dominar aquém da ética e além da lei. Sejamos diligentes, a luta continua.Um dia conseguiremos distingui...

George Orwell holds a unique place in contemporary English literature. He used facts and his own observation and when there was no actual reporting to be done, invention took over, as in Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, and his clear vision, realistic deduction and profound understanding of human behaviour enabled him to reach the inner recesses of the reader's mind and startle him to reflection and self-examination. He said that one of h...

Jones, dans l'espoir de mener une vie autonome dans l'égalité, l'entraide et la paix pour tous. La ferme est passée sous le contrôle des animaux. Elle est, dés lors, gérée dans le respect des sept comma...

Mit seinem Roman „1984" hat George Orwell schon vor Jahrzehnten ein Zeichen gegen die drohende Gefahr eines globalen Überwachungsstaates und einer Weltdiktatur gesetzt. Heute sind die von Orwell beschriebenen Tendenzen schon wesentlichen deutlicher zu erkennen, denn der „gläserne Bürger" und das Aufkommen überstaatlicher Gebilde sind keine Fiktion mehr. Hatte Orwell noch die Schreckensvision eines globalen Bolschewismus vor Augen, so wurde die...

I maiali Palla di neve, Napoleone e Clarinetto adattano le idee del Vecchio Maggiore in un «completo sistema di pensiero», che chiamano formalmente 'Animalismo', un allegorico riferimento dell'autore al comunismo, da non confondere con la filosofia animalista. Successivamente alla divulgazione di questo sistema di idee, Napoleone e Clarinetto contravvengono alle regole da loro stessi imposte (i «sette comandamenti») partecipando ad attività as...

A beautiful graphic adaptation of George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel. "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." In 1945, George Orwell, called "the conscience of his generation, " created an enduring, devastating story of new tyranny replacing old, and power corrupting even the noblest of causes. Today it is all too clear that Orwell's masterpiece is still fiercely relevant wherever cults of perso...
