La satira classica della rivoluzione russa di George Orwell è una parte intima della nostra cultura contemporanea, citata così spesso che tendiamo a dimenticare chi ha scritto le parole originali.

"Der Mensch ist das einzige Geschöpf, das konsumiert, ohne zu produzieren. Er gibt keine Milch, er legt keine Eier, er ist zu schwach, um den Pflug zu ziehen, er kann nicht schnell genug rennen, um Kaninchen zu fangen. Dennoch ist er Herr über alle Tiere. Er lässt sie für sich arbeiten, gibt ihnen das Nötigste zurück, damit sie nicht verhungern, und den ganzen Rest behält er für sich. Unsere Arbeit beackert den Boden, unser Mist düngt ihn, und doch gibt es keinen von uns, der mehr als seine nackte Haut besitzt.

Prima carte a lui George Orwell, Fara un sfant prin Paris si prin Londra este o relatare emotionanta si foarte detaliata a celor citiva ani de saracie autoimpusa prin care a trecut scriitorul dupa ce s-a intors din Birmania. Aflat in cautarea propriei voci narative, Orwell repudiaza societatea "respectabila" si exploreaza viata defavorizatilor sortii, traind in camarute mizere si spalind vase in bucataria incinsa ca un cuptor a vreunui hotel parizian sau invirtindu-se printre cersetorii excentrici ai Londrei, al caror limbaj pestrit il inregistreaza fidel.

In 1943, three years into World War II, Orwell wrote "Looking Back on the Spanish Civil War," a long meditation on his memories. Orwell reminisces about his experiences in the Spanish Civil War. He remembers the foul living conditions, the overflowing latrines, and the poor quality of the meager food. It is often necessary to fight wars to preserve one's life or the freedom of the nation, and war is necessarily evil and vile. Atrocities are perpetrated by all sides in nearly all wars - the Spanish Civil War was no exception.

1984 is George Orwell's terrifying vision of a totalitarian future in which everything and everyone is slave to a tyrannical regime lead by The Party.

When Winston finds love with Julia, he discovers that life does not have to be dull and deadening, and awakens to new possibilities.

Down and Out in Paris and London is the first full-length work by the English author George Orwell, published in 1933. It is a memoir in two parts on the theme of poverty in the two cities. Its target audience was the middle and upper class members of society—those who were more likely to be well educated—and exposes the poverty existing in two prosperous cities: Paris and London. The first part is an account of living in near-destitution in Paris and the experience of casual labour in restaurant kitchens.

According to biographer D. J. Taylor, the young Orwell displayed 'an enthusiasm for poetry that in [his] formative years seems to have been as least as strong as any desire to write fiction'. Orwell's poetry is not among his best known – or most highly praised – work, but nonetheless shares similar concerns to (and displays the dry sense of humour present in) his prose. Mere foothills in the range of Orwell's work perhaps – but building up to the summits later scaled. Contents:. Awake young men of England. The Italian soldier shook my hand. Kitchener. Romance.
