English writer, critic, publicist and journalist George Orwell (real name Eric Arthur Blair) entered the history of literature primarily thanks to his last novel "1984" (1948, published in 1949), which became one of the main books-anti-utopias of the twentieth century. The society of the future depicted by the author is based on the total unfreedom of the individual, propaganda and open violence - which, according to the author's bitter and threatening prediction, won in the fictional state of Oceania by 1984; however, the realities of the Soviet system of 1930-1940s and other dictatorial regimes are easily recognizable in its appearance - for, according to Orwell, all dictatorships are worth each other.... This collection also includes the famous satirical tale-parable "Cattle Yard" (1945), dedicated to the theme of betrayed conquests of the revolution (later developed in "1984"), autobiographical novel "Days in Burma" (1934) - a harsh and mocking denunciation of the romantic myth of European civilization, bringing light to the colonized peoples of the East - and the novel "Long Live the Ficus!" (1936), an ironic and sad account of how the failed poet John Comstock declared war on the Business God, refusing to live for money, decent social status and other philistine values (symbolized by a ficus on his windowsill) - and what it led to.
