The Complete Novels Of George Orwell

Synopsis

His best-known novels, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four , are two of the most famous, well-quoted and influential political satires ever written. The other novels in this volume are also concerned with individuals at odds with repressive institutions: the corrupt imperialism of Burmese Days , disaffection with materialistic society in Keep the Aspidistra Flying , the perils of modern suburban living in Coming Up for Air and the down-and-out girls in A Clergyman's Daughter . They all display Orwell's deep understanding of human nature, his biting humour and great compassion.
