1984 (Signet Classics) (1950)
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes.
Animal Farm (2004)
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.
Homage to Catalonia; and, Looking Back on the Spanish War (1968)
London. 18 cm. 246 p. Encuadernación en tapa blanda de editorial ilustrada. Idioma inglés .. Este libro es de segunda mano y tiene o puede tener marcas y señales de su anterior propietario.
1984 (2009)
Probably the most influential novel of the twentieth century, has been described as chilling, absorbing, satirical, momentous, prophetic and terrifying. This edition, with an introduction by novelist Robert Harris, marks the sixtieth anniversary of this great work’s publication.
The Road to Wigan Pier (1972)
In the 1930s Orwell was sent by a socialist book club to investigate the appalling mass unemployment in the industrial north of England. He went beyond his assignment to investigate the employed as well-”to see the most typical section of the English working class.” Foreword by Victor Gollancz.
A Collection of Essays (1970)
One of the most thought-provoking and vivid essayists of the twentieth century, George Orwell fought the injustices of his time with singular vigor through pen and paper.
Down and Out in Paris and London (1972)
This unusual fictional account, in good part autobiographical, narrates without self-pity and often with humor the adventures of a penniless British writer among the down-and-out of two great cities. In the tales of both cities we learn some sobering Orwellian truths about poverty and society.
1984 (1983)
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes.
All Art Is Propaganda (2009)
As a critic, George Orwell cast a wide net. Equally at home discussing Charles Dickens and Charlie Chaplin, he moved back and forth across the porous borders between essay and journalism, high art and low.
George Orwell: Animal Farm-Nineteen Eighty-Four (2002)
In this Readers’ Guide, Daniel Lea takes a decisive path through the maze of interpretations that has accumulated around Orwell’s best-known novels, examining critical reactions from the beginning of the Cold War through to the collapse of Communist Easte
