1984 (Nineteen Eighty-Four), Animal Farm, and over 40 Other Works by George Orwell

This collection gathers George Orwell's best-known fiction, led by Nineteen Eighty-Four and including Animal Farm. The central novel imagines Oceania, a state run by a single party under a leader known as Big Brother. Ordinary citizens are watched through telescreens and informers, and the government rewrites the past to suit its current claims. Winston Smith works in the Ministry of Truth, where he alters old records, and he begins a secret diary that questions what he is told. His quiet rebellion pits his private thoughts against a system that seems to control every fact. The stories show how power can bend language, memory and daily life.
