NY: Houghton Mifflin, 2021. 1st Edition Thus. Hardcover_boards. New/New. 1.36" H x 8.43" L x 5.9" W (1.14 lbs) 400 pages. 45th Printing. Features: Excerpt, Ikids, Price on Product. Target Age Group: 14 and up. Wrapped in mylar. Secure ship w/track #. This edition features George Orwell's best known novels - 1984 and Animal Farm - with an introduction by Christopher Hitchens. Animal Farm: A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned -a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell's masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh. 1984: Among the seminal texts of the 20th century, Nineteen Eighty-Four is a rare work that grows more haunting as its futuristic purgatory becomes more real. Published in 1949, the book offers political satirist George Orwell's nightmarish vision of a totalitarian, bureaucratic world and one poor stiff's attempt to find individuality. The brilliance of the novel is Orwell's prescience of modern lifethe ubiquity of television, the distortion of the languageand his ability to construct such a thorough version of hell. Required reading for students since it was published, it ranks among the most terrifying novels ever written., Houghton Mifflin, 2021, 6<
