London, 1984: Winston Smith, Geschichtsfälscher im Staatsdienst, verliebt sich in die schöne und geheimnisvolle Julia. Gemeinsam beginnen sie, die totalitäre Welt infrage zu stellen, als Teil derer sie bisher funktioniert haben. Doch bereits ihre Gedanken sind Verbrechen, und der Große Bruder richtet seinen stets wachsamen Blick auf jeden potenziellen Dissidenten. George Orwells Vision eines totalitären Staats, in dem Cyberüberwachung, Geschichtsrevisionismus und Gedankenpolizei den Alltag gläserner Bürger bestimmen, hat wie keine andere Dystopie bis heute nur an Brisanz gewonnen.

Bogens første del er en af Orwells mest berømte reportager fra hans ophold blandt kulminearbejdere i Nordengland i vinteren 1936. I sin usædvanligt klare og enkle stil beskriver han minearbejdernes hårde arbejde, den usle løn og de elendige boligforhold, som han også prøvede på egen krop.

Alegorická novela začíná vzpourou zvířat, která vyženou majitele farmy a začnou si vládnout sama. Zprvu ušlechtilé, idealistické myšlenky o rovnosti, svobodě a blahobytu záhy berou za své a jejich místo postupně zaujme propaganda, nesvoboda a totalitní diktatura. Vláda zvířat ctí posvátných sedm přikázání, z nichž nejdůležitější je to sedmé – Všechna zvířata jsou si rovna! Jak se ale ukáže, některá jsou si rovnější… Bajka, která byla dokončena v roce 1944 se s odstupem času stala kultovním dílem, které nastavuje zrcadlo všem podobám diktatury.

Fascismo e Democracia reúne exemplos magníficos da escrita de Orwell durante os dias mais sombrios da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Abraçando os princípios da democracia e as potencialidades reformadoras, o significado da literatura e da liberdade de expressão em tempos de violência e a sustentabilidade da verdade objetiva, Orwell oferece um retrato convincente de uma nação onde normas e ideais não podem mais ser considerados garantidos.
