Publicado pela primeira vez em 1933, este é um audiolivro de memórias fictício, mas também um pouco autobiográfico que trata da pobreza nas duas cidades. A primeira parte é um relato de como um escritor vivia em situação de quase miséria em Paris e a experiência de trabalhos temporários em cozinhas de restaurantes. A segunda parte trata-se de um diário de viagem na estrada dentro e ao redor de Londres sob a perspectiva de um desocupado, com descrições dos tipos de acomodação em albergues disponíveis e de alguns dos personagens encontrados vivendo à margem de tudo.

John Wain estava certo quando disse: “O que torna esta obra tão peculiarmente amarga é que, além de evocar os espectros gêmeos do totalitarismo e da pobreza sem trabalho, também declara a impossibilidade de se ter uma infância baseada no amor por coisas como árvores, peixes, borboletas, porque postula um mundo em que essas coisas simplesmente não existem mais”.

Em nove ensaios o autor usa a veracidade como sua única estrela. Sua contribuição literária veio durante uma era desesperadora e nos ajudou a navegar nos anos sem trilhas do pós-guerra. Entre eles, Dentro da baleia é um ensaio em três partes escrito por George Orwell em 1940, em que se vê um discurso amplo sobre a literatura inglesa nas décadas de 1920 e 1930. A história bíblica de Jonas e a baleia é usada como uma metáfora para aceitar a experiência sem procurar mudá-la.

Ambientado em Londres, em 1930, tem como tema principal a ambição romântica de Gordon Comstock de desafiar a adoração do deus do dinheiro e do status. A Planta de Ferro, referência à aspidistra, não é tão agressivamente político quanto as obras mais famosas de Orwell. O romance está mais preocupado com as relações interpessoais, mas ainda aborda as questões maiores do capitalismo, do socialismo e a divisão de classes de forma sombriamente humorística.

The essay explores the plight of the poor and marginalized in society, as well as the indifference and cruelty of those in power. "A Hanging" describes Orwell's experience of witnessing a hanging during his time serving as a police officer in Burma.

"Animal Farm", a fairy story, is a short novel by George Orwell. It describes a farm where animals revolt, take over and drive out men. It is an apologue written in the form of an animal fable, but also a dystopia. In this novel, Orwell offers a satire of the Russian Revolution and a critique of the Soviet regime, particularly Stalinism, and beyond that, authoritarian regimes and totalitarianism. The book was named one of the 100 best English-language novels written from 1923 to 2005 by Time magazine.
