? Die Fabel vom Aufstand der Tiere des Farmers Jones und vom allmählichen Umschlag der Revolution in ihr den Status quo ante wiederherstellendes Gegenteil gehört zu den bekanntesten literarischen Werken des 20. Jahrhunderts. Der Satz >Alle Tiere sind gleich, aber einige Tiere sind gleicher als andere< wurde zum geflügelten Wort.?
Beginning with a dilemma about whether he spends more money on reading or smoking, George Orwell's entertaining and uncompromising essays go on to explore everything from the perils of second-hand bookshops to the dubious profession of being a critic, from freedom of the press to what patriotism really means.
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.

Abridged ed of 2nd revised ed Classic / British English Winston Smith lives in a society where the government controls people's lives every second of the day. Alone in his small, one-room apartment, Winston dreams of a better life. Is freedom from this life of suffering possible? There must be something that the Party cannot control - something like love, perhaps?
Den satiriske og allegoriske romanen Kamerat Napoleon (originaltittel Animal Farm), først utgitt i 1945, er tilbake i en ny utgave. Dette er Orwells mest kjente roman og er en åpenbar kritikk av den russiske revolusjonen og en vurdering om hvordan kommunismen ble ødelagt under Stalin. Handlingen er lagt til gården "Manor Farm", der dyrene tar makten fra menneskene og begynner å drive gården på sine egne premisser. Boka åpner med at dyrene har rådsmøte for å få fjernet den grusomme eieren på gården. De intelligente og vel respekterte grisene tar styringen under mottoet "alle dyr er like, men noen dyr er likere enn andre". Men det tar ikke lang til før lederen, Kamerat Napoleon, blir like grusom som den tidligere eieren.
Nach seiner Demission als Polizeioffizier in Burma landet Orwell 1933 in den Slums: bei den Arbeitslosen, Asozialen in Paris, wo er sich als Küchenhilfe in einem Luxusrestaurant verdingt; bei den Pennern von London, mit denen er durch die Gossen und Asyle pilgert. Der unsentimentale, erschütternde Bericht eines Betroffenen.
Chto budet, esli v pravjaschikh krugakh rasprostranjatsja idei fashizma i diktatury? Kakim stanet obschestvennyj uklad, esli vlast potrebuet neuklonnogo podchinenija? K kakoj katastrofe privedet podobnyj rezhim? V gosudarstve Okeanija u grazhdan net prav, a znachit vlast partii absoljutna. Povsednevnaja zhizn geroev prokhodit v uslovijakh strakha i postojannykh potrjasenij. Zdes perecherknuty svoboda slova, svoboda pechati, svoboda vybora, svoboda ljubvi i dazhe svoboda mysli. Narushit porjadok nevozmozhno, ved Starshij Brat smotrit za kazhdym. Uzhasy prestuplenij gosudarstvennoj mashiny zafiksiroval Dzhordzh Oruell v svoem glavnom tvorenii - "1984". Etot roman-preduprezhdenie ob opasnosti totalitarizma stal odnoj iz samykh izvestnykh antiutopij XX veka, kotoraja stoit v odnom rjadu s "My" Zamjatina, "O divnyj novyj mir" Khaksli i "451o po Farengejtu" Bredberi.

George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution has become an intimate part of our contemporary culture, with its treatment of democratic, fascist, and socialist ideals through an animal fable. The animals of Mr. Jones' Manor Farm are overworked, mistreated, and desperately seeking a reprieve. In their quest to create an idyllic society where justice and equality reign, the animals of Manor Farm revolt against their human rulers, establishing the democratic Animal Farm under the credo, "All Animals Are Created Equal." Out of their cleverness, the pigs--Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball--emerge as leaders of the new community. In a development of insidious familiarity, the pigs begin to assume ever greater amounts of power, while other animals, especially the faithful horse Boxer, assume more of the work. The climax of the story is the brutal betrayal of Boxer, when totalitarian rule is reestablished with the bloodstained postscript to the founding slogan: "But Some Animals Are More Equal than Others." This astonishing allegory, one of the most scathing satires in literary history, remains as fresh and relevant as the day it was published.
Whether puncturing the lies of politicians, wittily dissecting the English character or telling unpalatable truths about war, Orwell's timeless, uncompromising essays are more relevant, entertaining and essential than ever in today's era of spin.
'Fifty years on, these ephemeral pieces still display a marvellous acuity and freshness and go some way to explaining why Orwell is such an influential English writer for the generations that followed.'ObserverGeorge Orwell wrote regularly for the Observer between 1942 and 1948. During the Second World War he filed superbly incisive stories from the Home Front and vivid reportage from north Africa. In its aftermath, he wrote brilliantly on the problems facing newly liberated France and devastated, occupied Germany, as well as the challenges facing the Labour government elected by landslide in 1945. He also casts a clear eye over unravelling French and British empires and the state of the Soviet Union. Combining reporting of the very highest order with profiles, analysis and book reviews, this complete collection is an indispensable addition to the library of any admirer of Orwell.
A powerful and straightforward dramatisation of Orwell's enduring parable on the perils of totalitarianism. Ian Wooldridge's dramatisation of Animal Farm remains faithful to Orwell's original, retaining both its affection for the animals and the inciciveness of its message. It was first performed by TAG Theatre Company at the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow, in 1982. This edition contains production notes for schools and other groups wishing to stage the play.
A satire on totalitarianism in which farm animals overthrow their human owner and set up their own government
