Synopsis

2021 Facsimile of six novels written by Orwell. Originally published between 1934 and 1949, the works included in this Omnibus edition are: ANIMAL FARM; BURMESE DAYS; A CLERGYMAN’S DAUGHTER; COMING UP FOR AIR; KEEP THE ASPIDISTRA FLYING, NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR. ANIMAL FARM A searing satire upon dictatorship in which the pigs, leaders of the animals' revolution against the humans, make their famous declaration “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” BURMESE DAYS Based on Orwell's experiences in the mid-l 920s as a police officer in Burma, this is an unsparingly realistic novel about East meeting West. A CLERGYMAN'S DAUGHTER She spends an evening with the local atheist and seducer, loses her memory and joins a band of tramps, before returning to the routine of good works. COMING UP FOR AIR A brilliant and amusing indictment of the failings and follies of the British way of life. KEEP THE ASPIDISTRA FLYING Gordon Comstock, poet and Angry Young Man of the 30s, walks out of a good job and ultimately into penury. NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR Orwell's vision of totalitarian terror under Big Brother has become an enduring classic and an iconic work of fiction.
