George Orwell foi um libert rio. "A Revolu o dos Bichos", em suas met foras, revela uma avers o a toda esp cie de autoritarismo, seja ele familiar, comunit rio, estatal, capitalista ou comunista. A obra de uma genial atualidade. Apesar de tudo o que alguns poucos homens j fizeram e lutaram, ainda estamos e vivemos sob os que insistem em dominar aqu m da tica e al m da lei. Sejamos diligentes, a luta continua. Um dia conseguiremos distinguir a diferen a entre porcos e homens. Sentindo chegar a sua hora, Major, um velho porco, re ne os animais da fazenda para partilhar um sonho: serem governados por eles pr prios, os animais, sem a submiss o e explora o do homem. Ensinou-lhes uma antiga can o, Bichos da Inglaterra (Beasts of England), que resume a filosofia do Animalismo, exaltando a igualdade entre eles e os tempos pr speros que estavam por vir, deixando os demais animais em xtase com as possibilidades. Sob o comando dos inteligentes e letrados porcos, os animais expulsaram os humanos da propriedade e passaram a chamar a Quinta Manor de Quinta dos Animais pt / Granja ou Fazenda dos Bichos br, e aprenderam os Sete Mandamentos, que, a princ pio, ganhavam a seguinte forma: 1. Qualquer coisa que ande sobre duas pernas inimigo. 2. Qualquer coisa que ande sobre quatro patas, ou tenha asas, amigo. 3. Nenhum animal usar roupas. 4. Nenhum animal dormir em cama. 5. Nenhum animal beber lcool. 6. Nenhum animal matar outro animal. 7. Todos os animais s o iguais. O Estado controlava o pensamento dos cidad os, entre muitos outros meios, pela manipula o da l ngua. Os especialistas do Minist rio da Verdade criaram a Novil ngua, uma l ngua ainda em constru o, que quando estivesse finalmente completa impediria a express o de qualquer opini o contr ria ao regime. Uma das mais curiosas palavras da Novil ngua a palavra duplipensar que corresponde a um conceito segundo o qual poss vel ao indiv duo conviver simultaneamente com duas cren as diametralmente opostas e aceitar ambas. Os nomes dos Minist rios em 1984 s o exemplos do duplipensar. O Minist rio da Verdade, ao rectificar as not cias, na verdade estava mentindo. Por m, para o Partido, aquela era a verdade. Assim, o conceito de duplipensar plaus vel a um cidad o da Oceania. Outra palavra da Novil ngua era Teletela, nome dado a um dispositivo atrav s do qual o Estado vigiava cada cidad o. A Teletela era como que um televisor bidirecional, isto , que permitia tanto ver quanto ser visto. Nele, o "papel de parede" (ou seja, quando nenhum programa estava sendo exibido) era a figura inanimada do l der m ximo, o Grande Irm o.

Volume 15 of The Complete Works of George OrwellWriting to Philip Rahv on 9 December 1943, Orwell described his time at the BBC as 'two wasted years', yet this volume continues to show how much he achieved. Among the educational series in this period were those devoted to new developments in science, modern English verse, great dramatists, and psychology; there were series, such as 'Books That Changed the World' which included broadcast talks on great books from East and West. Among those who broadcast for Orwell were John Lehmann, V. S. Pritchett and Stephen Spender. Oliver Bell, Director of the British Film Institute, took over film reviewing, and the series of shortened versions of Indian plays continued. Orwell adapted four 'featurised stories', and broadcast talks on Macbeth and Lady Windermere's Fan. He continued to broadcast to Malaya and wrote and read news commentaries for Indonesia. He wrote over a dozen reviews, several essays, and a long study, 'The Detective Story' printed here for the first time in its original French version and in an English translation. The volume concludes with two appendices: the devastating report by the Intelligence Officer, Laurence Brander on the ineffectiveness of the BBC's broadcasting service to India; and, Orwell's preparatory notes for 'The Quick & the Dead' and 'The Last Man in Europe'.
Der Zukunftsroman 1984 beschreibt einen totalitären Staat, in dem die Menschenrechte rigoros eingeschränkt werden.

Ten celebrated essays by a man universally regarded as a master of the essay form. Included are such classics as "Charles Dickens," "The Art of Donald McGill," "Boys' Weeklies," "Raffles and Miss Blandish," and "Benefit of Clergy: Some Notes on Salvador Dali."
In the winter of 1945-6, George Orwell was recently widowed, in poor health and living in bombed-out London under the deprivations of rationing – yet in this unpromising context, he wrote a series of essays celebrating the small joys of everyday life. This new anthology, edited by Rebecca Solnit, challenges the dominant image of Orwell as the austere author of Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm. He instead emerges as an enthusiast of English cooking; a lover of gardening and the countryside; a leisurely pub drinker; an observer of the elm tree and blackbird’s song; a devotee of murder mystery novels and ‘good bad books’. These essays were not escapist for Orwell; rather, they deepened his political commitments. Attending to the world through the senses, trusting your own judgement and valuing ordinary joys are ways of preserving individuality and humanity in the face of propaganda, totalitarianism and despair. These small pleasures, far from trivial, become for Orwell fortifications of the self.

George Orwells 1984 är en gastkramande dystopi om övervakning, propaganda och motstånd. Romanen har bannlysts i flera länder – och är fortfarande bannlyst på vissa håll – ett bevis på hur brännande aktuell den fortfarande är. I Oceanien styr en allsmäktig diktator, kallad Storebror. Han och hans Parti övervakar medborgarna, kontrollerar språket och skriver om historien. Winston Smith arbetar med att ändra gamla tidningar så att makten alltid har rätt. Men när han inleder en förbjuden kärleksrelation med Julia börjar han göra det farligaste man kan göra: tänka själv. En tidlös klassiker, återberättad på lättare svenska av författaren Andreas Palmaer.
