1984. Animal Farm. Essay
14.99 €
The novel "1984" - a literary verdict on the most terrible experience of the twentieth century, a study of the technology and psychology of totalitarianism with all its sophisticated techniques designed to suppress dissent, grind the human personality and turn the individual into a cog in the state mechanism. This is the "dress rehearsal" of hell, its convincing earthly version, where "WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. IGNORANCE IS POWER."
The novella-parable "The Cattle Yard," which tells of the inhabitants of a farm, a closed world with its own commandments and orders, also unfolds into a political satire. Animals here adopt the most disgusting vices of people, above all - the desire for power, and the farm itself becomes a symbol of a ruthless totalitarian society. The collection also includes essays from different years - "Literature and Totalitarianism", "Writers and Leviathan", "Notes on Nationalism" and others, where Orwell raises the most acute problems of political and cultural life that are still relevant today.
