Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell combines two seminal works of dystopian fiction. Both stories explore themes of totalitarianism, control, and the loss of individuality. Animal Farm is an allegorical tale where farm animals overthrow their human farmer, seeking equality, only to become oppressed by their kind. 1984 delves into a future society plagued by pervasive surveillance and authoritarian rule, where independent thought is suppressed.

This edition features George Orwell's best-known novels – 1984 and Animal Farm – with an introduction by Christopher Hitchens.

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 organization 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.

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?
