Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four are George Orwell's two most influential political novels, presented together in a single volume. Animal Farm is a satirical allegory in which a group of farm animals overthrow their human owner, only to see their revolution corrupted by the rise of a new tyranny. Nineteen Eighty-Four imagines a bleak future ruled by an all-powerful Party that controls truth, suppresses individuality, and watches every citizen.
