About this ebook
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?

Harper Collins £17 (2003 edition) Whoppingly overpriced for these two classics. Price gouging taken to it's extreme. Buy the books from a more ethical publisher and save yourself at least a tenner. The novels: 10/10 This edition: 0/10

Those readers that say this book bores them must be missing the entire under story here....... I reapply just don't know how else this could be boring at all I enjoyed the book thoroughly. While it could be argued the book is an outdated, slanted view of socialism/communism it shouldn't be viewed as a singular source of study for the topic if your purpose for reading the book is this, and of your purpose is for enjoyment or anything else, remember the time period in which this was written.

1984 & Animal Farm are both written a long time ago and very relevant to now. It is absolutely amazing how he could have known what kind of things would be going on in 2015 by reading between the lines of two very good fictional stories. Or are they fictional. Scary......
