George Orwells roman 1984 är tveklöst en av 1900-talets mest inflytelserika böcker och en stilbildande framtidsskildring. När den utkom år 1949 hade världen just sett en totalitär regim falla och en annan födas. I Djurfarmen [1945] hade Orwell redan studerat stalinismens mekanismer, och nu drog han linjerna vidare in i framtiden: landet Oceanien har genomfört det frihets- och människofientliga kontrollsamhället på alla nivåer i samhällsstrukturen, teknologin, arbetslivet, den mänskliga interaktionen och - inte minst - i språket. Konstant övervakning råder »Storebror ser dig« - och varje avvikelse straffas skoningslöst. Winston Smith arbetar på Sanningsministeriet med att ändra historien och därmed visa att Partiet och dess ledare alltid har haft rätt - och alltid kommer att ha rätt. Men i hans enahanda tillvaro väcks en längtan efter något annat, ett upproriskt frö som i sig är nog för att leda till hans undergång. I svensk översättning av Thomas Warburton. GEORGE ORWELL föddes i Indien 1903 och avled i London 1950. Som journalist, kritiker och författare var han en skarp vedersakare av sin samtid och dess politiska förutsättningar och konsekvenser. Han deltog som frivillig i spanska inbördeskriget men ville ogärna definiera sig själv politiskt, även om han mot slutet av livet hävdade att allt han skrivit sedan 1936 utgick från tanken på en demokratisk socialism.

"Big Brother is Watching You." "Orthodoxy means not thinking--not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness." "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-forever." ― George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four Nineteen Eighty-Four: A Novel (1949), a dystopian novel by George Orwell, is a brilliant work of fiction exposing totalitarianism. The protagonist, Winston Smith, is a minor party functionary living in London which is shattered by a nuclear war right after World War II. Working as a rewriter of history in the Ministry of Truth, his work is to rewrite history by bringing it in line with current political thinking. However, Winston's longing for truth and decency directs him to secretly rebel against the government. He embarks on a prohibited affair with Julia, a woman with the same mindset, and they rent a room in a region populated by proletariats. Winston and Julia, however, are unknowingly being watched closely by "Big Brother".

Winston Smith is a hardworking member of the Party, the ruling government of Oceania. Laboring in the Ministry of Truth, the Party's propaganda arm, he is in charge of revising history, the Party's way of controlling the past as well as the present. And Big Brother, the Party's all-powerful leader, is always watching, always making sure that everyone does exactly what they are supposed to do. This makes for an orderly society, but individuality is crushed. Even love is forbidden, with procreation under the strict supervision of the Party. But then Winston meets Julia and learns of "The Book," a forbidden publication that seems to promise a different way of life. 1984's brilliance comes from Orwell's prescient understanding of modern life--the power of the media, the loss of privacy, the distortion of language for the sake of "political correctness," and the suppression of individual thought and expression. Required reading for students since it was first published, it is one of the most disturbing and powerful novels ever written. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.

I romanen 1984 av George Orwell kontrollerar regeringen varje aspekt av medborgarnas liv i ett dystopiskt samhälle, medan huvudpersonen Winston Smith gör uppror mot det förtryckande regimen.

Homage to Catalonia is both a memoir of Orwell's experience at the front in the Spanish Civil War. Fighting against the Fascists, he described in painfully vivid and occasionally comic detail life in the trenches-with a "democratic army" composed of men with no ranks, no titles, and often no weapons-and his near fatal wounding.

The Road to Wigan Pier offers an in-depth examination of socio-economic conditions in the coal-mining communities of England's industrial areas, including detailed analysis of workers' wages, living conditions, and working environments. Orwell was profoundly influenced by his experiences while researching. An unflinching look at unemployment and life among the working classes in Britain during the Great Depression.

On the 70th anniversary of George Orwell's death, a new collection of his brilliant essays written during the Second World WarFascism and Democracy collects five brilliant examples of Orwell's writing during the darkest days of World War Two. Grappling with the principles of democracy and the potential of reform, the meaning of literature and free speech in times of violence, and the sustainability of objective truth, Orwell offers a compelling portrayal of a nation where norms and ideals can no longer be taken for granted. Like the best of Orwell's writing, these essays also serve as timeless reminders of the fragility of freedom.

Down and Out in Paris and London is the first full-length work by the English author George Orwell, published in 1933. It is a memoir in two parts on the theme of poverty in the two cities, which was written deliberately in a non-academic tone.

Alligevel har Winston forbudte tanker, og han kommer i kontakt med andre oprørere, bl.a. pigen Julia, som han forelsker sig i, hvilket i øvrigt også er forbudt.

Animal Farm is an Allegorical novella by George Orwell, first Published in England on 17 August 1945. According to Orwell, the Fable reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and Then on into the Statilinst era of the Soviet Union.

"Poverty is what I am writing about". In the late 1920s, Eric Blair resigned his post as a colonial policeman in Burma, immersed himself in the slums of Paris and London, and reinvented himself as George Orwell, one of the most revered prose stylists in the English language. Orwell decided to write about the lives of the poor - the dishwashers of Paris, the tramps of London - not by imagining poverty, but by experiencing poverty. The result is a book which is as provocative and incisive about class inequalities, homelessness, and social prejudices today as it was when it was first published in 1933. Down and Out in Paris and London was George Orwell's first book, and it remains a masterpiece of prose writing. This edition is accompanied by an introduction which examines Orwell's book for its literary, social, and political significance.

La adaptaci n gr fica oficial de la c lebre novela de George Orwell. Esta s tira de la Revoluci n rusa y el triunfo del estalinismo, escrita en 1945, se ha convertido por derecho propio en un hito de la cultura contempor nea y en uno de los libros m s mordaces de todos los tiempos. Ante el auge de los animales de la Granja Solariega, pronto detectamos las semillas del totalitarismo en una organizaci n aparentemente ideal; y en nuestros l deres m s carism ticos, la sombra de los opresores m s crueles. El artista gr fico Odyr es el coautor de esta maravillosa adaptaci n en la que se recoge el texto original de Orwell, vertido en unas ilustraciones que no solo acompa an, sino que ofrecen una nueva lectura de este cl sico insoslayable de nuestro tiempo. TODOS LOS ANIMALES SON IGUALES, PERO ALGUNOS SON M S IGUALES QUE OTROS ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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 personality thrive, truths are twisted by those in power, and freedom is under attack. Now, in this fully authorized edition, the artist Odyr translates the world and message of Animal Farm into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel. Old Major, Napoleon, Squealer, Snowball, Boxer, and all the animals of Animal Farm come to life in this newly envisaged classic.
