Die wirkmächtigste politische Fabel der Literaturgeschichte - gelesen von Christoph Maria Herbst. Die Tiere auf dem Hof des Säufers Mr. Jones leiden unter seinem gewalttätigen Regiment. Aber genug ist genug! Die intelligenten Schweine arbeiten ein Programm für die Befreiung vom menschlichen Unterdrücker aus. Die Rebellion ist erfolgreich. Doch selbst die, die sich aus der Unterdrückung befreien, können zu Unterdrückern werden - und bald schon leiden die Tiere unter der Diktatur der Schweine.

"Nationalismus ist untrennbar mit dem Streben nach Macht verbunden", aber nicht mit Patriotismus gleichzusetzen, so George Orwell in diesem kontroversen Essay. Was kennzeichnet nationalistisches Denken? Unter anderem der besessene Glaube an die eigene Überlegenheit und der Unwille, sein Handeln an realen Fakten auszurichten. Geschrieben 1945 und noch nie auf Deutsch erschienen, ist "Über Nationalismus" eine höchst zeitgemäße Lektüre und ein Plädoyer gegen den Rechtspopulismus.

"Die Fabel vom Aufstand der Tiere des Farmers Jones und vom allmählichen Umschlag der Revolution in ihr den Status quo ante wiederherstellendes Gegenteil gehört zu den bekanntesten literarischen Werken des 20.

George Orwell's nineteen Eighty-Four is one of the most definitive texts of modern literature. Set in Oceania, one of the three inter-continental superstate that divided the world among themselves after a global war, Orwell's masterful critique of the political structures of the time, works itself out through the story of Winston Smith, a man caught in the webs of a dystopian future, and his clandestine love affair with Julia, a young woman he meets during the course of his work for the government.

"De tous les carrefours importants, le visage à la moustache noire vous fixait du regard. BIG BROTHER VOUS REGARDE, répétait la légende, tandis que le regard des yeux noirs pénétrait les yeux de Winston... Au loin, un hélicoptère glissa entre les toits, plana un moment, telle une mouche bleue, puis repartit comme une flèche, dans un vol courbe. C'était une patrouille qui venait mettre le nez aux fenêtres des gens. Mais les patrouilles n'avaient pas d'importance. Seule comptait la Police de la Pensée."

Animal Farm, one of the great social satires of our century, is based upon modern Eastern European history. First published in 1945, it is the classic fable of the utopian dream and the corruptive influences of power. When the animals at Manor Farm revolt against their master, Mr. Jones, their goal is to take over the farm and establish an ideal community based on hard work, honesty, and the equality of all animals. Memories are short, however, and soon the farm's founding principles are slowly eroded and abolished.
