In W B Yeats wird die Literatur des ersten irischen Literatur-Nobelpreisträgers unter die Lupe genommen und dabei festgestellt, dass dessen persönlicher Hang zum Mystischen und Okkulten durchaus in seine schriftlichen Ergüsse einflossen, wobei Orwell als Quintessenz resultiert, dass auffallende Parallelen zwischen eingefleischten Religionsanhängern und Faschisten in Bezug auf den Hang zur Erklärung der Welt durch einfache Antworten besteht.

É 1984, e a vida está irreconhecível. Pista Aérea Um, antes conhecida como Grã-Bretanha, é um lugar onde o Grande Irmão está sempre de olho e é impossível se esconder. Exceto, talvez, para Winston Smith. Enquanto trabalha reescrevendo a história no Ministério da Verdade, ele nutre sonhos secretos de liberdade. E, num mundo onde o amor e o sexo são proibidos, onde é difícil distinguir os amigos dos inimigos, ele conhece Julia e O’Brien e decide se rebelar.

Shooting an Elephant describes the experience of the English narrator, possibly Orwell himself, called upon to shoot an aggressive elephant while working as a police officer in Burma. Because the locals expect him to do the job, he does so against his better judgment, his anguish increased by the elephant's slow and painful death. The story is regarded as a metaphor for colonialism as a whole, and for Orwell's view that 'when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys'.
