The novel "1984" is a literary verdict on the most terrible experience of the XNUMXth century, a study of the technology and psychology of totalitarianism with all its sophisticated methods 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 story-parable "Animal Farm", which tells about the inhabitants of a farm, a closed world with its own commandments and orders, also unfolds into political satire. Animals here adopt the most disgusting vices of people, primarily the desire for power, and the farm itself becomes a symbol of a merciless totalitarian society. The collection also contains 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, which are still relevant to this day.
