Farm
by George Orwell

"Everyone willingly works overtime, productivity
soars, and for one brief, glorious season, every belly
is full. The animals' Seven Commandment credo is painted
in big white letters on the barn. All animals are equal.
No animal shall drink alcohol, wear clothes, sleep in
a bed, or kill a fellow four-footed creature. Those
that go upon four legs or wings are friends and the
two-legged are, by definition, the enemy. Too soon,
however, the pigs...succumb to the temptations of privilege
and power...cynically editing the Seven Commandments
to excuse their violence and greed, the common animals
are once again left hungry and exhausted, no better
off than in the days when humans ran the farm." -

"In a grim city and a terrifying country, where
Big Brother is always Watching You and the Thought Police
can practically read your mind, Winston is a man in
grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still
functions. He knows the Party's official image of the
world is a fluid fiction. He knows the Party controls
the people by feeding them lies and narrowing their
imaginations through a process of bewilderment and brutalization
that alienates each individual from his fellows and
deprives him of every liberating human pursuit from
reasoned inquiry to sexual passion. Drawn into a forbidden
love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret
revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated
to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved
Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against
the powers that be." -
