The Complete Novels

Described by Anthony Burgess as 'the best-loved of all twentieth-century British writers', George Orwell still has as much power to move, amuse and provoke today. His best known novels, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four,are two of the most famous, well-quoted and influential political satires ever written. The other novels here are also concerned with individuals 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 Airand the down and out girl in A Clergyman's Daughter.They all display Orwell's deep understanding of human nature, his biting humour and great compassion.
