Description

George Orwell wrote many essays and political pamphlets, yet most know him for his fable Animal Farm and his dystopian novel 1984. The essays in this enhanced Bloom's Modern Critical Views volume offer precise commentary on Orwell's political views, his perspective on totalitarianism, and the forms of realism in his works. This book is an enriching resource for students looking to gain a deeper comprehension of Orwell's relevant themes.
