La tragica ribellione di Winston Smith al Grande Fratello e la storia del suo amore per Julia sono lo specchio in cui Orwell riflette in modo lucido e senzasconti sul destino che potrebbe attendere un'umanita che ha fatto di tutto per eliminare se stessa: liberta personali controllate dall'autorita, storia e memoria riscritte e manipolate, e un linguaggio, unico baluardo di liberta, asservito al potere.Riproposto in una nuova traduzione, che ne restituisce le atmosfere cupe e allucinate e il linguaggio a volte brutale, 1984 c uno dei classici moderni piu letti e citati, perché ci ricorda ancora oggi cosa puo accadere quando l'esercizio del pensieroviene impedito e dire la verita diventa un atto rivoluzionario. Prefazione di Walter Veltroni.

But as the pigs vie for power, they begin to bear an uncanny resemblance to the tyrants they have overthrown...George Orwell's renowned fable became an instant success on publication after the Second World War. The novel has continued to captivate readers of all ages, and has secured Orwell's position as one of the great writers of the twentieth century.

George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution is an intimate part of our contemporary culture. It is the account of the bold struggle, initiated by the animals, that transforms Mr. Jones's Manor Farm into Animal Farm--a wholly democraticsociety built on the credo that All Animals Are Created Equal. Out of their cleverness, the pigs Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball emerge as leaders of the new community in a subtle evolution that proves disastrous. The climax is the brutal betrayal ofthe faithful horse Boxer, when totalitarian rule is reestablished with the bloodstained postscript to the founding slogan: But some Animals Are More Equal Than Others. . . .

When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master, Mr Jones, and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless elite among them, masterminded by thepigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another. Orwell's chilling 'fairy story'is a timeless and devastating satire of idealism betrayed by power and corruption.
