George Orwell’s 1984 & Animal Farm deliver haunting, enduring narratives of power, corruption, and totalitarianism. In Animal Farm, a burst of revolutionary hope among farm animals devolves into oppressive tyranny as language and history are twisted by cunning pigs—mirroring Soviet-era betrayals . 1984 explores a nightmare future under Big Brother’s surveillance state, where truth is erased in the Ministry of Truth and independent thought is crushed under propaganda and torture. Together, these masterpieces remain urgently relevant, shining a stark light on how words, power, and ideology can control minds—and societies.
