Animal Farm, steeped in scathing commentary about communism and the Russian Revolution, as well as 1984, a ferocious parody of the totalitarian state, are masterpieces of literature and social thought. This insightful book shows that contrary to popular opinion, author George Orwell was actually a passionate socialist. It recounts events that influenced his work, including his experiences as a left-wing journalist and soldier in the Spanish Civil War.
