‘All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.’
Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one daz he forgets to feed his livestock. the ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organized to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges...

'Politics and the English Language' is widely considered Orwell's most important essay on style. Style, for Orwell, was never simply a question of aesthetics; it was always inextricably linked to politics and to truth.'All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer.'Language is a political issue, and slovenly use of language and cliches make it easier for those in power to deliberately use misleading language to hide unpleasant political facts. Bad English, he believed, was a vehicle for oppressive ideology, and it is no accident that 'Politics and the English Language' was written after the close of World War II.

ANIMAL FARM
George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution is an intimate part of our contemporary culture. It is the 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. Out of their cleverness, the pigs Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball emerge as leaders of the new community in a subtle evolution that proves disastrous. The climax is the brutal betrayal of the faithful horse Boxer, when totalitarian rule is reestablished with the bloodstained postscript to the founding slogan: But some Animals Are More Equal Than Others. . . .
1984
In 1984, London is a grim city where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join 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.

《动物庄园(译美文)》以隐喻的形式写革命的发生以及革命的背叛，自然还有革命的残酷：一个农庄的动物不堪主人的压迫，在猪的带领下起来反抗，赶走了农庄主；它们建立起一个自己管理自已的家园，奉行“所有动物一律平等”的原则；两只领头的猪为了权力而互相倾轧，胜利者一方宣布另一方是叛徒、内奸；猪们逐渐侵占了其他动物的劳动成果，成为新的特权阶级；动物们稍有不满，便招致血腥的清洗；统治者需要迫使猪与人结成同盟，建立起独裁专制；农庄的理想被修正为“有的动物较之其他动物更为平等”，动物们又回复到从前的悲惨状况。

Set in the days of the Empire, with the British ruling in Burma, "Burmese Days" describes both indigenous corruption and Imperial bigotry, when 'after all, natives were natives - interesting, no doubt, but finally only a 'subject' people, an inferior people with black faces'. Against the prevailing orthodoxy, Flory, a white timber merchant, befriends Dr Veraswami, a black enthusiast for Empire. The doctor needs help. U Po Kyin, Sub-divisional Magistrate of Kyauktada, is plotting his downfall. The only thing that can save him is European patronage: membership of the hitherto all-white Club. While Flory prevaricates, beautiful Elizabeth Lackersteen arrives in Upper Burma from Paris. At last, after years of 'solitary hell', romance and marriage appear to offer Flory an escape from the 'lie' of the 'pukka sahib pose'.

“它是一部革命史，但它误入歧途，而且每一次偏离都那么有理由。”作者在1945年该书出版是这样说的。
《动物农场》讲述农场里的一群动物成功地进行了一场“革命”，将一直压榨他们的人类农场主琼斯赶出农场，并建立了一个没有压迫和剥削的平等的动物社会。不过，他们新的动物领袖——猪们，最终穿上衣服，并篡取了革命的果实，成为比人类农场主更糟糕的统治者。动物们又和以前一样过着悲惨的生活。
狂妄独裁的猪、暴戾的狗、顺从的马、愚昧的绵羊……这些鲜明的形象使得这一个看似荒诞的故事有了合理之处、故事中最令人恐惧的还是那句话，那被篡改的只剩下一条的戒律：所有的动物都是平等的，但有些动物比其他动物更加平等。
《动物农场》作为一部寓言小说，是一部老少皆宜的读物。对于不同的读者，具有不同的意义。少年读者看到的是一个妙趣横生的动物故事，而成年读者看到的却是一个极具讽喻效果的寓言故事。大英百科全书将其誉为“西方世界伟大著作”，也是实至名归的。

小城女孩多萝西的父亲在英国东部小镇奈普山的圣阿瑟尔斯坦教堂担任牧师，他早年丧妻，性情乖戾，以折磨女儿和仆女为乐。在父亲的严厉管教下，多萝西自幼便是一个虔诚的信徒，奉行自我约束，却因生活孤单，与镇里声名狼藉的浪子沃波顿先生成为朋友。一晚她受邀至沃波顿先生家作客，后者尝试勾引多萝西未遂，但被镇里喜欢散播谣言的桑普利尔太太目睹到沃波顿先生在门口强抱多萝西的情形。多萝西回到家里，昏昏睡去。当她再次睁开眼睛的时候，却发现自己莫名其妙地来到了一个陌生的城镇，而对于自己是谁，从何而来，又为何在此全都失去了记忆。多萝西不知道的是，以她为主角的一场狗血私奔大戏正在全英国的报纸上成篇累牍地刊载，而她自己的人生和信仰也即将迎来一场翻天覆地的巨变。

聪明的猪只拿破仑，以崇高的理想为号召，
推翻了人类主子，所有动物深以为从此可以自己做主，
不再有蹂躏压榨、弱肉强食、勾心斗角。
不料，初尝权利滋味的拿破仑开始整肃异己，赶尽杀绝，一心巩固领导地位，维护尊荣享受。
能言善道的尖叫者帮着拿破仑粉饰太平，
勤恳老实的拳击手不疑有他，只知牺牲奉献，甚至赔上性命在所不惜。
在雪球与拿破仑身上，你将看到一个国家、社会乃至企业组织，如何上演赤裸龌龊的权利争夺战。
在尖叫者身上，你将看到狗腿大王如何攀龙附凤。
而在拳击手身上，你将看到自己的一切努力如何的枉然与徒劳!
当今稳坐经典地位的《动物农庄》，出版当时却再三遭到退稿。
在维权人士与主流媒体滴水不漏的操作下，一代文豪欧威尔无视于舆论压力，
大无畏地戳破人们昧于「对国家忠诚」、「对权威迫害视若无睹」的重重精巧谎言，
为滔滔混世敲响一记警钟————
觉悟吧!别再让你我自甘沦为权力游戏底下的一颗棋子，别再随波逐流!

Intimidated by her father, the rector of Knype Hill, Dorothy performs her submissive roles of dutiful daughter and bullied housekeeper. Her thoughts are taken up with the costumes she is making for the church school play, by the hopelessness of preaching to the poor and by debts she cannot pay in 1930s Depression England. Suddenly her routine shatters and Dorothy finds herself down and out in London. She is wearing silk stockings, has money in her pocket and cannot remember her name. 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.

These essays, reviews and articles illuminate the life and work of one of the most individual writers of this century - a man who created a unique literary manner from the process of thinking aloud and who elevated political writing to an art.

你發出的每一個聲音，都有人在聽著；你的每一個舉動，都有人監視著…
《一九八四》是英國作家喬治‧歐威爾於一九四八年創作的預言小說，描寫到了未來的一九八四年，人類生活在極權統治的恐怖世界裡，人性完全遭到扼殺。書中主角溫斯頓在政府的真理部工作，每天根據黨政府的需要捏造新聞、竄改歷史，卑微的生存使他對現狀產生了懷疑：每個人的一舉一動都受到電幕監視，在黨的教育下小孩也從小監視、檢舉父母，親情、友情、愛情蕩然無存；大家明明吃不飽穿不暖，但是黨的豐收報告從來沒有人質疑。在物質與精神生活都極端貧乏空洞的生活當中，反叛黨的念頭在他心中萌芽，他開始躲在電幕拍不到的死角寫日記，開始與女同事有了一段祕密戀情，同時也開始懷疑部門主管其實是地下反叛組織的成員。然而在一個惡魔的世界裡，你要如何確知另一個人是站在自己這一邊？
《一九八四》已成了二十世紀的經典文學，出版四十年後，就已被翻譯成至少六十五種語言，使歐威爾成了史上作品譯本最多的作家。本書對英語的影響也非常深遠，書中的「老大哥」、「思想警察」、「雙重思想」等術語不僅在英文裡流傳，甚至中文也經常使用。

ANIMAL FARM was George Orwell's satirical shot at the then-new totalitarianism of the left. It is so accurate that no one has been able to do it better or more effectively, or even come close. Who can forget "All Animals Are Created Equal, But Some Are More Equal Than Others." By putting wisdom in the mouths of animals, Orwell uses an age-old artifice and proves again how the pen can be mightier than the sword.

只要把人类推翻，动物就能过上美好的生活？ 农场里的猪——拿破仑和雪球公布七大纪律，发动革命，驱逐统治者琼斯先生，实现动物自治，并在牛棚大战中挫败人类复辟进攻。 之后，政治斗争开始了。拿破仑悍然篡改七大纪律，肆意杀害持有不同政见的动物。 经过大清洗，拿破仑巩固了至高无上的独裁地位……

《1984》作者乔治·奥威尔另一部传世之作，世界文坛最著名的讽喻小说。以隐喻的形式描写革命的发生以及革命的背叛，自然还有革命的残酷批判。以斯大林时代的苏联为首，掩盖在社会主义名义下的极权主义。
农场里的一头猪（Old Major）在提出了“人类剥削牲畜，牲畜须革命”的理论之后死去，若干天（准确是三天）后农场里掀起了一场由猪领导的革命，原来的剥削者——农场主被赶走，牲畜们实现了“当家作主”的愿望，尝到了革命果实的甘美，农场更名为“动物庄园”并且制定了庄园的宪法──七诫。
但不久领导革命的猪们发生了分裂，一头猪被宣布为革命的敌人，此后，获取了领导权的猪拥有了越来越大的权力和越来越多的特别待遇，逐渐脱离了其他动物，最终蜕变成为和人类完全一样的牲畜剥削者，动物庄园的名字也被放弃。
《动物庄园》的故事脉络被评论家分析为与苏联的历史乃至整个二十世纪国际共产主义运动的历史惊人的相似，在很多共产党正在或者曾经执政的国家都能看到动物庄园的类似影子。作者在书中借由对动物庄园的发展变化，对共产主义运动未来命运的预言也被1991年的苏联、东欧剧变和后来的历史所印证。但《动物庄园》的意义远远不止于对历史的预言，这部寓言体小说以文学的语言指出了：由于掌握分配权的集团的根本利益在于维系自身的统治地位，无论形式上有着什么样的诉求，其最终结果都会与其维护社会公平的基本诉求背道而驰。

In this bestselling compilation of essays, written in the clear-eyed, uncompromising language for which he is famous, Orwell discusses with vigor such diverse subjects as his boyhood schooling, the Spanish Civil War, Henry Miller, British imperialism, and the profession of writing.

In this bitingly honest autobiographical essay, Orwell recounts his days as a pupil at St Cyprian's preparatory school in Eastbourne, Sussex. He reflects on a 'world of force and fraud and secrecy,' where the actual 'pattern of school life' was played out as a continuous triumph of the strong over the weak. Reflecting on the hypocrisy of Edwardian society, Orwell condemns the education he received as 'a preparation for a sort of confidence trick,' designed mercinarily to prepare pupils for exams without concern for real knowledge or understanding. This is Orwell as political dissident and supreme chronicler of class conflict.
