1984. Animal Farm. Days in Burma with illustrations

George Orwell is one of the most widely read authors in the world and a very controversial figure of his time. He was born in Bengal, educated at Eton, worked in the police, on the radio, and in a second-hand... bookstore, fought in Spain, and wrote books. A fierce opponent of communism and a defender of democratic socialism, Orwell revolted against the society he so aspired to but in which he felt absolutely alien. The book comprises three different works by Orwell: the early novel 'Days in Burma', as well as the satirical allegorical tale 'Animal Farm' and the dystopia '1984'. Orwell's first novel, 'Days in Burma', is based on his experience working in the colonial police of Burma in the 1920s and provoked heated debates due to its stark depiction of colonial society. The allegorical tale 'Animal Farm' is full of sharp sarcasm and political satire. The inhabitants of the farm embody the worst human vices, and the farm itself becomes a symbol of a totalitarian society. The broader scope of the problem of totalitarianism is found in '1984' — Orwell's last novel, alongside 'We' by Zamyatin, 'Brave New World' by Huxley, and 'Fahrenheit 451' by Bradbury. What will happen if ideas of fascism and dictatorship spread in the ruling circles? What will social life be like if power demands unwavering obedience? What catastrophe will such a regime lead to?
