The 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, publ. 1949), which became one of the main dystopian books of the twentieth century. The society of the future depicted by the author is based on the total lack of freedom of the individual, propaganda and open violence - victorious, according to the author's bitter and formidable prediction, in the fictional state of Oceania by 1984; however, in its appearance, the realities of the Soviet system of the 1930-1940s and other dictatorial regimes are easily recognizable - for, according to Orwell, all dictatorships stand against each other ... This collection also includes the famous satirical fairy tale-parable Animal Farm (1945), dedicated to the theme of the betrayed conquests of the revolution (later developed in 1984), the autobiographical novel Days in Burma (1934), a harsh and mocking denunciation of the romantic myth of European civilization that brings light to the colonized peoples of the East, and the novel Long Live the Ficus! (1936), an ironic and sad account of how the unsuccessful poet John Comstock declared war on the Business God, refusing to live for money, worthy social status and other philistine values ​​(which he considered the ficus on the windowsill to be a symbol of) - and about what it led to.
