Mer om författaren

Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia.

  1. 5/5 Robert L

    Välartikulerad, lättläst och en bra historia. Borde läsas av alla!
    Gillar att den är så ingående och beskrivande, trots sina blott 95 sidor med text.

  2. 5/5 Robert E

    George Orwell's great dark satire on the corrupting influence of power, as relevant today as it was sixty years ago.

  3. 5/5 Lukas

    Fantastisk bok! Den kan varmt rekommenderas. Orwell har skrivit boken väldigt lättläsligt fast med ett oerhört djup. Hans budskap är tidlöst och bokens teman är väldigt spännande. Läs den gärna på orginalspråk!

  4. 4/5 H. L

    Lättläst och spännande roman. Satiren är påtaglig och lämpar sig väl i fabeln. Enkelt språk gör att även de stackare som har svårt för engelska kan ta sig igenom denna utan problem. Ger mersmak - följ gärna upp med '1984'!
