Fearing that England was about to be wiped from the face of the earth by the Nazi bombers flying overhead, Orwell put pen to paper and set out to make a record of English culture. England Your England is this record, and is an important tableau of the nation's history, and demonstrates a resolute refusal to bow to the threatening forces of Fascism.
Shooting an Elephant tells the story of a police officer in Burma who is called upon to shoot an aggressive elephant. Loosely based on Orwell's own experiences, the tightly written essay weaves together fact and fiction indistinguishably, and leaves the reader contemplating the heavy topic of colonialism.
The story takes place in an imagined future , the year 1984, when much of the world has fllen victim to perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, historical megationism, ad propaganda.
WAR IS PEACEFREEDOM IS SLAVERYIGNORANCE IS STRENGTH Winston Smith is a good worker. He supports the Party. He is good at his job rewriting history to Government specification. Big Brother watches him, but there is nothing to see. Winston's struggle against the totalitarian world he inhabits is a closely guarded secret. It exists only in his mind until he begins a secret love affair with Julia, a fellow worker. Is this enough to push him to revolution? Or is it the beginning of his downfall? A masterwork of dystopian fiction, Nineteen Eighty-Four is harrowingly prescient, and its impact has stretched around the globe. With a new introduction by political editor and writer Ian Dunt, this brand new edition of a science fiction classic is a must-have for any collector.
George Orwell kuvaa romaanissaan osuvasti elämää Euroopassa aivan toisen maailmansodan aattona. Kirjan päähenkilö käy läpi lapsuuttaan, nuoruuttaan ja aikuisuuttaan. Suuret mullistukset, teollistunut todellisuus, ankea perhe-elämä ja kaiken yllä roikkuva sodan uhka ovat hiertäneet alleen nuoruuden unelmat. Mutta onko keski-ikäisellä vakuutuskauppiaalla vielä tilaisuus tavoitella onnea, edes ohikiitävän hetken ajan?
Introduced by Alan Johnson. ‘All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.’ Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges . . . First published in 1945, Animal Farm – the history of a revolution that went wrong – is George Orwell’s brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power.
NOMINATED - CILIP KATE GREENAWAY MEDALAll animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others. It's just an ordinary farm - until the animals revolt. They get rid of the irresponsible farmer. The other animals are sure that life is improving, but as systems are replaced and half-truths are retold, a new hierarchy emerges . . . Orwell's tale of propaganda, power and greed has never felt more pertinent. With an exciting new cover and inside illustrations by superstar Chris Mould.
Mr. Jones på Storgård er så alkoholisert og lat at han en dag glemmer å fôre dyrene. Det påfølgende opprøret under ledelse av grisene Napoleon og Snøball fører til at dyrene i samlet flokk jager Jones på dør. Revolusjonen er et faktum! De nye lederne på den nå omdøpte Dyregård lover å gjøre slutt på de grelle ulikhetene som råder i det lille samfunnet, slik at alle på fire bein får lik tilgang til godene. Men etter hvert som tiden går, svinner opprørets idealer og noe nytt og helt uventet kommer tilsyne ... Dyrenes gård [Animal Farm] er George Orwells storslagne satire over maktens korrumperende kraft, en tidløs roman som fortsatt fremstår like brennaktuell. «Forblir den store satiren over de mørkeste kapitlene i vår moderne historie.» Malcolm Bradbury
KÕIK LOOMAD ON VÕRDSED, AGA MÕNED ON VÕRDSEMAD KUI TEISED. Teos on nüüd esmakordselt Eestis illustreeritud! Uuele tõlkele on joonistanud tabavad pildid Urmas Nemvalts. Julmalt koheldud ja ülekoormatud koduloomad korraldavad ülestõusu ja võtavad ise farmi üle. Kannustatuna helgest idealismist ja haaravatest loosungitest, asuvad nad looma oma kodust õigluse, võrdsuse ja arengu paradiisi. Nii saab alguse teravalt satiiriline muinasjutt täiskasvanutele, mis kirjeldab teekonda revolutsioonist türannia vastu niisama kohutava totalitarismini. George Orwelli torkav allegooria mõjub tänini sama värskelt kui esmailmumise ajal aastal 1945.
Satiricheskaja skazka-pritcha znamenitogo britanskogo pisatelja Dzhordzha Oruella "Skotnyj Dvor" - neverojatnaja istorija, nadelavshaja mnogo shuma, do 1988 goda zapreschennaja v SSSR.

No postepenno iz obschej massy vydeljaetsja privilegirovannyj klass zhivotnykh, kotoryj zanimaet mesto izgnannykh ljudej.

Povest "Pamjati Katalonii" Dzhordzh Oruell opublikoval v 1939 godu. V nej on rasskazal o namerenijakh russkikh zakhvatit vlast v Ispanii. V 1945 on napisal satiru na russkuju revoljutsiju - pritchu "Skotnyj dvor", a ego poslednej knigoj stal roman "1984", antiutopija, v kotoroj so strakhom i gnevom pokazano totalitarnoe obschestvo. Pisatel mechtal o tom, chto odnazhdy ego knigi popadut v Rossiju i otkrojut ljudjam glaza. Pri zhizni avtora etomu ne suzhdeno bylo sluchitsja. Lish spustja desjatiletija rukopisi stali perevodit, perepechatyvat i peredavat iz ruk v ruki. Vypuschennye samizdatom teksty porazhali, pugali i vdokhnovljali. Spustja mnogo let teksty Oruella budut v kazhdom knizhnom magazine, a pervye, otpechatannye na pishuschej mashinke, perevody stanut bibliograficheskoj redkostju. Imenno oni i sostavili etot sbornik. Chitajte ostorozhno. Pomnite, Bolshoj brat vsegda sledit za vami.
Obitateli fermy krajne nedovolny! Khozjain vse chasche predpochitaet rabote butylku, dela idut khuzhe nekuda. Edinstvennyj vykhod - vzjat vlast v svoi ruki i ustanovit novye, razumnye i spravedlivye zakony! Smeshnaja i strashnaja v svoej dostovernosti pritcha o tom, kak samye luchshie i blagorodnye idei postepenno prevraschajutsja v svoju protivopolozhnost, obrechena esche ochen dolgo ostavatsja aktualnoj. Potomu chto vnov i vnov v raznykh ugolkakh Zemli posle vsekh nevzgod, ispytanij i zhertv okazyvaetsja, chto VSE ZHIVOTNYE RAVNY, NO NEKOTORYE - RAVNEE DRUGIKh! Povest adaptirovana po metodu obuchajuschego chtenija Ili Franka. Unikalnost metoda zakljuchaetsja v tom, chto zapominanie slov i vyrazhenij proiskhodit za schet ikh povtorjaemosti, bez zauchivanija i neobkhodimosti ispolzovat slovar. Eta kniga pomozhet vam preodolet vazhnyj barer: vy naberete leksiku i privyknete k logike jazyka, sekonomiv mnogo vremeni i sil. No, prochitav ee, ne nuzhno ostanavlivatsja, prodolzhajte chitat na inostrannom jazyke (teper uzhe dejstvitelno prosto pogljadyvaja v slovar)! Posobie podgotovil: Andrej Eremin.
