1984 by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley are two of the most famous and influential dystopian novels ever written. Both books depict a future world in which individual freedom and privacy are subordinated to the demands of a totalitarian state, and citizens are manipulated and controlled through technology, propaganda, and social conditioning. The two novels have often been compared and contrasted, and both are considered to be among the most important works of literature of the 20th century.

I Paris og London på vrangen beskriver Orwell livets barske realiteter for de arbejdende fattige og de hjemløse i to af Europas mest berømte og glamourøse byer og afslører en skjult verden af slid, elendighed og angst.

I slutningen af 1936 drog George Orwell til Spanien for at deltage i den spanske borgerkrig og kæmpe på oprørssiden mod de nationalistiske og fascistiske kræfter ledet af general Franco. Fire måneder senere vendte han såret og desillusioneret hjem efter at have set kommunisternes brutale udryddelse af andre oprørsgrupper og skrev herefter en af de mest berømte beretninger om den spanske borgerkrig, reportageromanen Hyldest til Catalonien.

Bogens første del er en af Orwells mest berømte reportager fra hans ophold blandt kulminearbejdere i Nordengland i vinteren 1936. I sin usædvanligt klare og enkle stil beskriver han minearbejdernes hårde arbejde, den usle løn og de elendige boligforhold, som han også prøvede på egen krop.

Le classique de George Orwell lu par Arthur Teboul, la voix de Feu! Chatterton. Quand les animaux de la ferme du Manoir, las des abus, renversent leur maître, l'acoolique Mr Jones, et reprennent le contrôle de leurs existences, ils imaginent le début d'une douce vie de liberté et d'égalité. Mais petit à petit, les cochons, à coups de manipulation, cupidité, orgueil, et mauvaise foi s'imposent sur leurs camarades, et les autres comprennent à leurs dépends que "Tous les animaux sont égaux, mais certains sont plus égaux que les autres".

Fascismo e Democracia reúne exemplos magníficos da escrita de Orwell durante os dias mais sombrios da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Abraçando os princípios da democracia e as potencialidades reformadoras, o significado da literatura e da liberdade de expressão em tempos de violência e a sustentabilidade da verdade objetiva, Orwell oferece um retrato convincente de uma nação onde normas e ideais não podem mais ser considerados garantidos. Assim como o melhor da escrita de Orwell, estes ensaios também servem como lembretes intemporais da fragilidade da liberdade.

John Flory er en desillusioneret, ensom brite, der lever af at købe og sælge teaktræ. Ingen af hans landsmænd forstår hans kærlighed til Burma, og han foragter deres racistiske tingang til lokalbefolkningen.

Britain ruled over Burma for 62 years (1824-86), during which three Anglo-Burmese Wars were fought and Britain incorporated it into its Indian Empire. Britain administered Burma as an Indian province until 1937, when it became a separate, self-governing colony. Burma declared independence in 1948.

In A Clergyman's Daughter, Orwell leads us through a landscape of unemployment, poverty and hunger, where Dorothy's faith is challenged by a social reality that changes her life.

In April 1945, as Hitler’s Third Reich was unravelling, George Orwell published 'Anti-Semitism in Britain'. The short essay sketches the contours of British anti-Semitism, an essentially non-virulent, though a tenaciously pervasive, societal attitude that ran deep and cut across class and ideological differences.

During The Blitz of 1941, as Nazi bombers flew overhead, George Orwell penned this stirring analysis of England and its people. Whilst not shying away from the difficulties of the nation, and the fractuous nature of its divisions, Orwell places a premium on the country's ability to come together in a time of crisis and protect its democratic values, even in the most dire of circumstances.

According to biographer D. J. Taylor, the young Orwell displayed ‘an enthusiasm for poetry that in [his] formative years seems to have been as least as strong as any desire to write fiction’. Orwell’s poetry is not among his best known - or most highly praised - work but nonetheless shares similar concerns to (and displays the dry sense of humour present in) his prose. Mere foothills in the range of Orwell’s work perhaps - but building up to the summits later scaled.

Looking Back on the Spanish War contains George Orwell's reminiscences of the sights, smells and politics of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) in which he almost lost his life.

George Orwell's moving reflections on the English character and his passionate belief in the need for political change. 'The Lion and the Unicorn' was written in London during the worst period of the Blitz. It is vintage Orwell, a dynamic outline of his belief in socialism, patriotism and an English revolution. His fullest political statement, it has been described as 'one of the most moving and incisive portraits of the English character' and is as relevant now as it ever has been.

'Decline of the English Murder' analyses the kinds of murders depicted in popular media during Orwell's life and why society of the time was obsessed with these grizzly crimes. Tribune published it on 15th February 1946, and Secker and Warburg republished it after his death in Shooting an Elephant and Other Essays in 1952.
