"1984" - the novel is considered one of the most famous works in the genre of dystopia, which warns of the threat of totalitarianism. It was written in 1940, but it is still very relevant today.
Winston Smith is an ordinary employee of the Ministry of Truth, engaged in constantly updating and rewriting history. He lives in a world of double standards, where everything is controlled by the Thought Police, which prohibits thinking, and the Ministry of Love, which causes pain. Absurd reality, life according to a pattern, carved steps in the columns of the same gray personalities. And you have no chance to take a step aside. You are under surveillance. Always and everywhere. Elder Brother is watching over you.
"Animal Farm" - in a relatively short work (about 100 pages), a parallel is drawn with the dictatorship in the Soviet Union, which arose in 1917-1922. According to Orwell, Animal Collective reflects the events that led to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then to the Stalinist era (1927-1953) in the Soviet Union. They also include corruption, short-sightedness, indifference, ignorance, and terror.
Farmer Jones needs to remember to feed his cattle one morning. And then the animals decide it's time to revolt. Led by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, they drive Jones out of the farm. Pigs establish their authority and proclaim the Seven Commandments. But day after day, in the hearts of other animals, a doubt ripens: are they all equal? Among them some consider themselves similar to others.
