britishwriter classics dystopianstory georgeorwell nineteeneightyfour

Nineteen Eighty-Four, often published as 1984, is a dystopian novel published in 1949 by English author George Orwell. The novel is set in Airstrip One, formerly Great Britain, a province of the superstate Oceania, whose residents are victims of perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance and public manipulation. 
Oceania's political ideology, euphemistically named English Socialism (shortened to "Ingsoc" in Newspeak, the government's invented language that will replace English or Oldspeak) is enforced by the privileged, elite Inner Party. Via the "Thought Police", the Inner Party persecutes individualism and independent thinking, which are regarded as "thoughtcrimes".Dominio Pubblico

DOWN AND OUT IN PARIS AND LONDON (Completed) di GeorgeOrwell

Down and Out in Paris and London is the first full-length work by the English author George Orwell, published in 1933. It is a memoir in two parts on the theme of poverty in the two cities. The first part is an account of living in near-destitution in Paris and the experience of casual labour in restaurant kitchens. The second part is a travelogue of life on the road in and around London from the tramp's perspective, with descriptions of the types of hostel accommodation available and some of the characters to be found living on the margins.

Gulliver's Travels (Completed) di BannedBooks

Gulliver's Travels is a famous satirical novel by Jonathan Swift, first published in 1726. It was originally banned because of the politically sensitive references the author makes in the novel, but the work has also been censured for displays of madness and for being "wicked and obscene, blasphemous, filthy in word and thought". The story recounts the dystopian experiences of Lemuel Gulliver, as he sees giants, talking horses, cities in the sky, and much more.

Animal Farm di atinystar116

Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union.

Twenty Sixty-Four di RonanOD

This web-novel is an experiment. It overlays the text of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four with a story set 40 years from now. Like most science fiction, this work is connected to the problems of our current day: cultural, environmental and political. The real Nineteen Eighty-Four is a book people know without having read: Big Brother, thoughtcrime and doublethink are very much a part of today's popular culture. Twenty Sixty-Four takes the original template as an internet meme, a popular image repurposed and given a different caption. It is satire and speculation, with the hope that our real future is nothing like this one. Asked about Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell said he hoped it would not come true, describing his book as a warning. After the recent election, Twenty Sixty-Four reimagines Orwell's classic in the spirit of keeping that intention alive. Note: The last chapter is a Glossary explaining key terms

KEEP THE ASPIDISTRA FLYING (Completed) di GeorgeOrwell

Keep the Aspidistra Flying, first published in 1936, is a socially critical novel by George Orwell. It is set in 1930s London. The main theme is Gordon Comstock's romantic ambition to defy worship of the money-god and status, and the dismal life that results.

Animal Farm di HistoricFiction22

Animal Farm is a satirical allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon.

THE IRON HEEL (Completed) di jacklondon

The Iron Heel is a dystopian novel by American writer Jack London, first published in 1908. Generally considered to be "the earliest of the modern Dystopian" fiction, it chronicles the rise of an oligarchic tyranny in the United States. It is arguably the novel in which Jack London's socialist views are most explicitly on display. A forerunner of soft science fiction novels and stories of the 1960s and '70s, the book stresses future changes in society and politics while paying much less attention to technological changes. The book is unusual among London's writings (and in the literature of the time in general) in being a first-person narrative of a woman protagonist written by a man. Much of the narrative is set in the San Francisco Bay Area, including events in San Francisco and Sonoma County.

1985 di Harry-cole

After George Orwell's 1984, came 1985. An action packed piece of sci-fi set in the dystopian universe of George Orwell's creation. Set over 24 hours two detectives in the Thought Police chase a group of anti establishment terrorists, forcing them to challenge their allegiances.

ANIMAL FARM di MuntasirKabir

Animal Farm is a short political fable by George Orwell based on Joseph Stalin's betrayal of the Russian Revolution. Orwell wrote it because he wished to destroy what he called the "Soviet myth". Like Nineteen Eighty-Four, the story is one of the most famous political allegories in the world. It is about a group of animals who rebel against the humans who run the farm they live on and run it themselves with hopes of being equal, free, and happy. In the end, however, the new rule becomes a cruel tyranny of its own led by the pigs. It was written during World War II and published in 1945. Although rejected by several publishers, when published it became a best-seller. Today it is widely accepted as a classic. This is a copyright version but still, hope you enjoy it.

252lbs di Dekbrown

Britain is in a state of national emergency. But it's not why you might think. Forget nuclear war, abject poverty or mass unemployment. Britain teeters on the brink of collapse because of the waistlines of its inhabitants. The numbers have been crunched, the charts have been projected and the data is in. If Britain continues at its current rate it will be bankrupt by this time next year, crushed under a health crisis no one saw coming. So what to do? A government seeking re-election, a weak opposition, an obese population and a surgeon who seeks immortality through his work are the ingredients for a disastrous cocktail that will see the nation descend into shame. Fat people aren't just unwelcome ... they are illegal. 252lb is a dystopian novel that looks at what happens when a population turns on its own people. Told through the lives of eight characters, it relates the story of how a civilised society sleepwalks into barbarism. The electorate is told the economy is broken because obese people are draining it with their illnesses. The answer is to force mandatory gastric surgery on anyone over 252lb. What begins as a voluntary process leads to dawn raids and arrests. The obese of this nation are put into camps to await brutal surgery to mend their broken bodies. Hundreds die, some are subject to appalling experiments in one man's bid to discover why humans are willing to eat themselves to death. 252lbs is a story of rebellion, heroism and personal ambition at its worst. But take heart: amidst the darkness there is a glimmer of light. It is also a story of a forbidden relationship and of new beginnings, when two people find each other against the odds and fall in love.
