1984 is a novel written by a famous 20th century writer, George Orwell, and it is his most widely known work.

The plot revolves around a man, called Winston Smith, who lives in an alternative, dystopian version of London. The action takes place (very unsurprisingly) in the year 1984, but the world is very different from the one we know. In this scenario, the world wars never actually end, and all countries unite in to 3 super states.

The countries are led by totalitarian governments, who have, over the years, created a system of total control. Almost in every room there is a portrait of ‘Big Brother’ saying ‘BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU’, and a TV screen which also acts as a CCTV camera, watching and tracking your every move.

At every time people are bombarded with propaganda, which glorifies: The Party, The Big Brother, The Ingsoc, and Ocianias war achievements. All events of the past are changed to fit the propaganda, all books and newspapers are rewritten or destroyed.

I really love this book and I think that everyone in the modern world should read it. Though it may be shocking, or even horrible to some, in my opinion, reading it is the only way to prevent these horrible things from happening.

Besides the story is very gripping, you’ll probably read it in a night, and I can promise that it will lead to a lot of curious discussions with your friends.

Hello, I decided for my first time to write about ”Animal Farm”, “Animal Farm” is a classic work by George Orwell and a noted piece of literature.

This novel is about a farm of animals, which are treated cruelly by their owner and decide to revolt. But it is far not a fairy tale and very much resembles our own life and political situation.

I recommend this novel, not only because it’s interesting to read and it has quite a few surprising plot twists, but most importantly it gives us a very good view on today’s world and especially the Soviet Union and the Russian revolution. It will help you to understand the idea of communism, and why it did not work in the Soviet Union. The novel lets us see the events of the past century depicted the little animal society, which makes the a lot clearer and easy to understand.

You should definitely read this book it is very easy to read, but it has a powerful message and makes you see thing that you never thought about. I promise you will enjoy it and you won’t be able to stop thinking about it when you finish.
