Роман "1984" - вершина творчества Джорджа Оруэлла. В нем показано общество, в котором люди четко разделены на классы: верхний, привилегированный, партийная верхушка; средний, не имеющий права ни на что, находящийся под постоянным прицелом телекамер и подслушивающих устройств, лишенный общения и эмоций, делающий механическую работу по регулярному переписыванию истории, обделенный во всем; низший - как бы пролетариат. В этом обществе искореняется любая мысль; человек живет в страхе наказания,...

But, my dear friend, what lie are you living?' 'Why, of course, the lie that we're here to uplift our poor black brothers instead of to rob them. I suppose it's a natural enough lie.

| Год | 1985 |
A biting satire on dictatorship written during the Second World War and published in 1945, Animal Farm is perhaps the most celebrated twentieth-century English satire after the same writer's Nineteen Eighty-Four. One of the very few writers to be compared in power, artistry and moral authority with Jonathan Swift, the purity of Orwell's spare prose and the logic of his dark comedy emphasize the stark message of man's inhumanity to man and beast's to beast.
