Animal Farm is Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution - an account of the bold struggle, initiated by the animals, that transforms Mr. Jones's Manor Farm into Animal Farm - a wholly democratic society built on the credo that All Animals Are Created Equal. But are they?
In 1984, London is a grim city where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith joins a secret revolutionary organisation called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be.

George Orwell
**George Orwell**, de son vrai nom Eric Arthur Blair, est un écrivain et journaliste britannique né en 1903 en Inde et mort en 1950 à Londres. Figure majeure de la littérature engagée, il est surtout connu pour ses œuvres *1984* et *La Ferme des animaux*, deux critiques acerbes des régimes totalitaires et des dérives du pouvoir. Ancien fonctionnaire colonial en Birmanie, il a aussi vécu dans la précarité à Paris et Londres, expériences qui ont nourri son engagement en faveur des plus démunis et son rejet des injustices sociales. Son style clair et son sens aigu de l’observation politique font de lui un auteur incontournable du XXe siècle.
