George Orwell, an English writer, critic and publicist, entered the history of literature primarily thanks to his latest novel '1984'. The book was published in 1949, has been reprinted many times and has been translated into 60 languages. Along with O. Huxley's "The Wonderful New World" and E. Zamyatin's "We", Orwell's novel became one of the main dystopian books of the twentieth century. The society of the future depicted by the author is based on total personal unfreedom, propaganda and open violence, which, according to the author's bitter and terrible prediction, won in the fictional state of Oceania by 1984, but the features of any totalitarian regime are easily guessed in the structure of this state.This collection also includes the famous satirical fairy tale-parable 'Animal Farm', which thematically adjoins the novel '1984'. The animals in the fairy tale, having expelled the owner from the farm, are trying to create a just society according to the laws of universal equality. But it turns out not to be such an easy task, because, as it is said in the novel: 'All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.'
