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 ... |

In George Orwell ‘s dystopian classic, 1984, a bleak landscape unfolds under the omnipresent gaze of Big Brother. In a society devoid of privacy, Winston Smith finds himself entangled in a dangerous dance between resistance and conformity. As he grapples with the oppressive Party and its manipulation of truth, Orwell‘s chilling portrayal serves as a stark warning against the erosion of freedom and the power of unchecked authority. This is a world where truth is malleable and individuality is a forbidden luxury. 1984 remains an enduring masterpiece, haunting readers with its timeless depiction of the struggle for ... |

Още въздух е книга за носталгията към миналото, за безполезността от опитите да се върнеш назад във времето, за това колко лесно поривите и мечтите на младостта се обезценяват от еднообразието и рутината на ежедневието. Джордж Оруел (1903 - 1950), романист, есеист и литературен критик, печели световна известност в края на 40 -те години на ХХ век с две брилянтни сатири срещу тоталитаризма Фермата на животните и 1984. Творбите му остроумни, иронични, честни и пророчески го нареждат сред най-влиятелните автори на нашето време."В тази книга неговият ироничен хумор е по-завладяващ от всякога." Observer " ... |

Although the shortest of George Eliot's novels, Silas Marner is one of her most admired and loved works. It tells the sad story of the unjustly exiled Silas Marner - a handloom linen weaver of Raveloe in the agricultural heartland of England - and how he is restored to life by the unlikely means of the orphan child Eppie. Silas Marner is a tender and moving tale of sin and repentance set in a vanished rural world and holds the reader's attention until the last page as Eppie's bonds of affection for Silas are put to the test. ... |

"Политическият език е въведен, за да накара лъжите да звучат достоверно, а убийството почтено, и да придава плътност на всяка вятър-работа.""Както и при християнската религия, най-лошата реклама за социализма са неговите привърженици.""Ако искате картина на бъдещето, представете си ботуш, настъпил човешко лице - хем завинаги."

"Фермата на животните" е алегоричен роман, който излиза през 1945 г. и цели да алармира западния свят за опасността от тоталитарния режим на съветския лидер Йосиф Сталин. Тук специално е включен предговорът на Оруел, който отпада от оригиналното издание, защото показва с какви трудности се среща творба, насочена срещу победоносния в този момент Съветски съюз. Също както в "1984", другия пророчески роман на Оруел, така и тук големият британски писател е сред малцината, които съзират ясно истината зад пропагандата и предупреждават за заплахата, която всяко тоталитарно управление представлява за ... |

George Orwell wrote extensively about English life and politics and this selection of essays and journalism brings together some of his most provocative and insightful writing on England and Englishness. Orwell's interests were broad. He often wrote about everyday concerns such as transport, food and the weather. Turning to social issues, he exposed the plight of the poor and the unemployed. He dissected the idea of nationalism and he examined the failings of the Left. What emerges from his acute observation of English rituals, habits and attitudes is his belief that these are the very things with which the English ... |

"It is the history of a revolution that went wrong - and of the excellent excuses that were forthcoming at every step for the perversion of the original doctrine, wrote Orwell for the first edition of Animal Farm in 1945. Orwell wrote the novel at the end of 1943, but it almost remained unpublished. Its savage attack on Stalin, at that time Britain's ally, led to the book being refused by publisher after publisher. Orwell 's simple, tragic fable, telling what happens when the animals drive out Mr Jones and attempt to run the farm themselves, has since become a world-famous classic." The Authoritative ... |
