"Long live the ficus!" (1936) is a bitter, ironic, largely autobiographical novel. The protagonist is Gordon Comstock, an unrecognized poet, failed writer, forced to work in an advertising agency to earn a living. He despises material values ​​and the vulgarity of the everyday way of life, the symbol of which is the ficus on the window. He blames money for all his failures, but proud poverty only leads him to the depths of depression ... Comstock needs to understand that in addition to high art, there are simple joys, and there is nothing shameful in striving to make money. What will save him? The Priest's Daughter (1935) is a novel quite different from the sarcastic Animal Farm and the dark dystopia 1984. A novel that will introduce you to another Orwell - a master of psychological realism. This story is a cruel mockery of the outdated morals and foundations of a society that lives in religion without faith and restricts the freedom of a person to choose his life path.
