Big Brother recommends a summer getaway to an Orwellian hellscape with this book basket featuring hellscape hits 1984 and Animal Farm. Also included: a mug for coffee or tea, 3 vinyl Orwell-themed stickers, and assorted goodies.
The Books:
1984: A masterpiece of rebellion and imprisonment where war is peace, freedom is slavery, and Big Brother is watching. Thought Police, Big Brother, Orwellian—these words have entered our vocabulary because of George Orwell’s classic dystopian novel 1984. The story of one man’s nightmare odyssey as he pursues a forbidden love affair through a world ruled by warring states and a power structure that controls not only information but also thought and memory. 1984 is a prophetic haunting tale. More relevant than ever before, it exposes the worst crimes imaginable—the destruction of truth, freedom, and individuality.
Animal Farm: A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to totalitarianism just as terrible. When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message that is still ferociously fresh.
The Mug: The ceramic mug will hold 11.8 ounces of your favorite hot beverage. It is colorfully printed on both sides.
