Книгата съдържа пиесите "Човек и свръхчовек" и "Дилемата на доктора". "Човек и свръхчовек" показва остроумието на Шоу в най-брилянтния му вид. Като пренарежда елементите на легендата за Дон Жуан, той създава пиеса в четири действия, която може да се разглежда като обикновена комедия на маниерите, но всъщност е манифест на философските идеи на Ницше за "свръхчовека", както и класическо разобличаване на вечната борба между половете. "Дилемата на доктора" пък е класическа сатира на медицинската професия, която разглежда актуалния и днес проблем с осигуряването на ... |

Най-пророческият роман, писан някога! 1984 е безспорно най-важният роман, писан през XX век, чиято стойност само нараства с всеки ден след публикуването му през 1949 г. Антиутопичният свят, който Оруел рисува, е естествено продължение на идеите от алегоричната приказка Фермата на животните, насочени към разкриване на опасността от тоталитарното управление. В този свят абсолютният властник Големия брат и неговите подчинени следят постоянно всички, Партията е вечно права и налага волята си със свирепа жестокост. Миналото постоянно се пренаписва, а бъдещето е оковано в безкрайна война, мизерия и погазване на човешкото ... |
