1984
Schmuckausgabe mit SilberprägungLondon, 1984: Winston Smith, Geschichtsfälscher im Staatsdienst, verliebt sich in die schöne und geheimnisvolle Julia. Gemeinsam beginnen sie, die totalitäre Welt infrage zu stellen, als Teil derer sie bisher funktioniert haben. Doch bereits ihre Gedanken sind Verbrechen, und der Große Bruder richtet seinen stets wachsamen Blick auf jeden potenziellen Dissidenten. George Orwells Vision eines totalitären Staats, in dem Cyberüberwachung, Geschichtsrevisionismus und Gedankenpolizei den Alltag gläserner Bürger bestimmen, hat wie keine andere Dystopie bis heute nur an Brisanz gewonnen.- 'Alles, was man über Politik wissen muß, steht meiner Ansicht nach bei George Orwell' Harald Martenstein- 'Schönheit ist bedeutungslos, bis sie mit anderen geteilt wird.' George Orwell- 'Die besten Bücher ... sind diejenigen, die Ihnen sagen, was Sie bereits wissen.' George Orwell- 'Trump schwingt den Knüppel der Macht: gegen Medien, Wissenschaft und Kultur. Da klingelt doch was? Der große dystopische Denker George Orwell. Er lebt.' Die Zeit

Animal Farm
'All animals are equal - but some are more equal than others'<BR><BR>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 élite among them, masterminded by the pigs 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. <BR><BR>'It is the history of a revolution that went wrong - and of the excellent excuses that were forthcoming at every step for the perversion of the original doctrine,' wrote Orwell for the first edition of Animal Farm in 1945. Orwell wrote the novel at the end of 1943, but it almost remained unpublished; its savage attack on Stalin, at that time Britain's ally, led to the book being refused by publisher after publisher. Orwell's simple, tragic fable has since become a world-famous classic.<BR><BR>This Penguin Modern classics edition includes an introduction by Malcolm Bradbury.

Keep the Aspidistra Flying
Despite hailing from a comfortable family background, budding poet Gordon Comstock decides to declare war on money and all the middle-class trappings that wealth can buy. Working in a small bookshop and living in a bedsit in London, he dreams of completing an ambitious poem in rhyme royal and devoting his life to literature. But when poverty begins to damage his self-esteem and taint his worldview, and his romantic and professional lives start falling apart, will Gordon be able to uphold his anti-money principles, or will he succumb to the lure of lucre and everything he stands against?<BR><BR> First published in 1936, Keep the Aspidistra Flying is the author's third novel, and one of his most outspoken works of social criticism. Partly autobiographical, it sits alongside Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four as a reminder of Orwell's lucid narrative style and his abilities as a politically and socially engaged writer.

The Road to Wigan Pier
In January 1936, the thirty-two-year-old George Orwell left his home in London and travelled to the industrial north of England with the intention of experiencing first-hand the conditions in which the working-class poor were compelled to live their lives. During his two-month expedition he visited Manchester, Wigan and Liverpool in the north-west, then Sheffield, Leeds and Barnsley in Yorkshire, recording his impressions as he went in a diary that would later form the basis of one of the most significant works of literary reportage ever written.<BR><BR>Part sociological survey, part polemic about the potential benefits of socialism - as well as the failures and idiosyncrasies of many of its middle-class exponents - The Road to Wigan Pier represents a unique record of a country riven by class inequality and plagued by unemployment, inadequate housing, unsafe working conditions and other social ills, and provides an invaluable insight into the evolution of Orwell's political consciousness.

Mein Katalonien
Ende 1936 kam Orwell als Zeitungsreporter nach Barcelona, um über den Bürgerkrieg zu berichten. Er schloß sich der Miliz P.O.U.M. an, der Arbeiterpartei der marxistischen Einigung, und kämpfte den Winter über an der Front in Aragonien. Als er wenig später mit ansehen musste, wie die Kommunisten bei der Ausschaltung der ihnen nicht genehmen Truppen Methoden der faschistischen Geheimpolizei anwandten, wurde er zu einem der erbittertsten Feinde des sowjetischen Totalitarismus.

George Orwell: 1984 / Nineteen Eighty-Four (English Edition)
George Orwell's "1984" (first published in 1949) is a groundbreaking dystopian novel set in a totalitarian society ruled by the oppressive Party and its leader, Big Brother. The story follows Winston Smith, a low-ranking Party member who secretly rebels against the regime's pervasive surveillance, propaganda, and thought control. Through concepts like Newspeak, doublethink, and the infamous slogan "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength," Orwell explores themes of government overreach, psychological manipulation, and the erosion of truth. "1984" remains a chilling and influential critique of authoritarianism, still widely studied and referenced today.This edition is the English-language hardcover version of Orwell's classic novel.George Orwell.1984.First published:"Nineteen Eighty-Four",Secker and Warburg, London 1949.Neuausgabe, LIWI Literatur- und Wissenschaftsverlag, Göttingen 2025.
