Dzhordzh Oruėll, angliĭskiĭ pisatelʹ, kritik i publit͡sist, voshel v istorii͡u literatury prezhde vsego blagodari͡a svoemu poslednemu romanu "1984". Kniga uvidela svet v 1949 godu, mnogokratno pereizdavalasʹ i byla perevedena na 60 i͡azykov. Nari͡adu s romanami "O divnyĭ novyĭ mir" O. Khaksli i "My" E. Zami͡atina kniga Oruėlla stala odnoĭ iz glavnykh antiutopiĭ KhKh veka. Izobrazhennoe avtorom obshchestvo budushchego osnovano na totalʹnoĭ nesvobode lichnosti, propagande i otkrytom nasilii, kotorye pobedili soglasno gorʹkomu i groznomu predskazanii͡u avtora v vymyshlennom gosudarstve Okeanii͡a k 1984 godu, odnako v ustroĭstve ėtogo gosudarstva legko ugadyvai͡utsi͡a cherty li͡ubogo totalitarnogo rezhima. V nastoi͡ashchiĭ sbornik vkli͡uchena takzhe znamenitai͡a satiricheskai͡a skazka-pritcha "Skotnyĭ Dvor", kotorai͡a tematicheski primykaet k romanu "1984". Zhivotnye v skazke, izgnav s fermy khozi͡aina, pytai͡utsi͡a sozdatʹ spravedlivoe obshchestvo po zakonam vseobshchego ravenstva. No ėto okazyvaetsi͡a ne takim uzh legkim delom, ibo, kak skazano v romane: "Vse zhivotnye ravny. No nekotorye zhivotnye bolee ravny, chem drugie".

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 the novels "Brave New World" by O. Huxley and "We" by E. Zamyatin, Orwell's book became one of the main dystopias 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, however, the features of any totalitarian regime are easily guessed in the structure of this state. This collection also includes the famous satirical 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 says in the novel: "All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others."
