Homage to Catalonia
'Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism as I understand it'. Thus wrote Orwell following his experiences as a militiaman in the Spanish Civil War, chronicled in Homage to Catalonia. Here he brings to bear all the force of his humanity, passion and clarity, describing with bitter intensity the bright hopes and cynical betrayals of that chaotic episode: the revolutionary euphoria of Barcelona, the courage of ordinary Spanish men and women he fought alongside, the terror and confusion of the front, his near-fatal bullet wound and the vicious treachery of his supposed allies.A firsthand account of the brutal conditions of the Spanish Civil War, George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia includes an introduction by Julian Symons in Penguin Modern Classics.

Animal Farm: The Graphic Novel
A beautiful graphic adaptation of George Orwell’s timeless and timely allegorical novel. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” In 1945, George Orwell, called “the conscience of his generation,” created an enduring, devastating story of new tyranny replacing old, and power corrupting even the noblest of causes. Today it is all too clear that Orwell’s masterpiece is still fiercely relevant wherever cults of personality thrive, truths are twisted by those in power, and freedom is under attack. In this fully authorized edition, the artist Odyr translates the world and message of Animal Farm into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel. Old Major, Napoleon, Squealer, Snowball, Boxer, and all the creatures of Animal Farm come to life in this newly envisaged classic. From his individual brushstrokes to the freedom of his page design, Odyr’s adaptation seamlessly moves between satire and fable and will appeal to all ages, just as Orwell intended.

1984
In un mondo dominato dal Partito, dove ogni gesto è sorvegliato e ogni parola può diventare una colpa, la libertà non è solo negata: è stata riscritta, svuotata, resa impensabile. La verità non esiste più e il passato è una materia malleabile, continuamente riscritta per adattarsi alle esigenze del potere. Winston Smith proprio a questo lavora. Il suo compito è cancellare tracce, correggere documenti, rendere il presente eterno e infallibile. Ma sotto l'apparente obbedienza cresce il dubbio: e se la realtà fosse altro? E se ricordare fosse già un atto di ribellione? Nel pericoloso tentativo di recuperare una verità personale, Winston scopre che il controllo più profondo non passa solo attraverso la violenza, ma piuttosto attraverso il linguaggio, la memoria e il desiderio. Romanzo politico, distopia, ma anche indagine spietata sulla psicologia del potere, 1984 mostra come un sistema totalitario non si limiti a dominare i corpi, ma ambisca a plasmare le coscienze. Il Grande Fratello non chiede soltanto obbedienza: pretende amore. A distanza di decenni 1984 continua a interrogarci con una forza inquietante, ricordandoci che la libertà non si perde all'improvviso, ma può essere erosa parola dopo parola. Uno degli incubi più lucidi e persistenti della letteratura del Novecento.
