Orwell is most well-known for his two famous novels Nineteen Eighty-Fourand Animal Farm, but their dystopian vision was informed by observations of poverty in England (Down and Out in Paris' and Londonand Road to Wigan Pier), and disillusion with political and national events of the 1930s and 1940s. Homage to Cataloniachronicled his experience of the Spanish Civil War and formulated his revulsion against totalitarianism, highlighted in his subsequent novels. This new collection (edited and with a new introduction by Professor Richard Bradford, and a foreword by Whitbread Prize winner D.J. Taylor) brings together Orwell's two celebrated novels and some of his seminal nonfiction (extensive extracts from Down and Out in Paris and Londonand The Road to Wigan Pier, and the whole of Homage to Catalonia), along with some brief extracts of pertinent work by Jack London, who also explored totalitarianism in The Iron Heel(fiction), and the Russian dissident Yevgeny Zamyatin whose own work We(1921) offers a strong warning about a dystopian police state. A new addition to the Flame Tree deluxe Gothic Fantasyseries on classic and modern writers, exploring origins and cultural themes in myth, fable and speculative fiction.

Highlighting the roots of suspense, supernatural, science fiction and mystery stories, the books in Flame Tree Collections series are beautifully presented, perfect as a gift and offer a lifetime of reading pleasure.
