The Complete Novels of George Orwell

George Orwell's best-known novels,
Animal Farm
, describing a revolution that goes horribly wrong, and
Nineteen Eighty-Four
, portraying a world where human freedom has been crushed, are two of the most famous, well-quoted and influential political satires ever written. The other novels in this volume also tell stories of people 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 surviving on the streets in
A Clergyman's Daughter
.
All the novels brought together here display Orwell's humour, his understanding of human nature and his great compassion.
