1984

by George Orwell

George Orwell's 1984 is the dystopia about controlling truth itself: a portrait of total state power built on the manipulation of language, memory, and the past. Following Winston Smith, a clerk at the Ministry of Truth whose job is rewriting history, it remains one of speculative fiction's sharpest and most unsettling examinations of how power bends reality.

Animal Farm

by George Orwell

George Orwell's Animal Farm is a short satirical fable about the animals of Manor Farm, who drive out their human master and then watch their revolution curdle under the pigs. It reads in a day or two, works as a first Orwell or a classroom classic, and stays with you long after the last page.
