George Orwell is celebrated for his keen intelligence and wit, a profound awareness of social injustice, and an intense opposition to totalitarianism. His work, widely regarded as the twentieth century's best chronicler of English culture, is marked by a passion for clarity in language and a belief in democratic socialism. He is best known for his dystopian novels that critique political and social oppression. His legacy endures through his neologisms and the term "Orwellian," which has become a byword for any oppressive or manipulative social phenomenon opposed to a free society.


This remarkable book has been described in many ways—as a masterpiece...a fairy story...a brilliant satire...a frightening view of the future. A devastating attack on the pig-headed, gluttonous and avaricious rulers in an imaginary totalitarian state, it illuminates the range of human experience from love to hate, from comedy to tragedy. With an Introduction by C.M. Woodhouse
