Modern Classics the Complete Novels of George Orwell (Penguin Modern Classics) by Orwell, George. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780141190396.

George Orwells best-known novels, Animal Farm, describing a revolution that goes horribly wrong, and Nineteen Eighty-Four, portraying a world where human freedom has been crushed, are two of the most famous, well-quoted and influential political satires ever written. The other novels in this volume also tell stories of people at odds with repressive institutions: the corrupt imperialism of Burmese Days, disaffection with materialistic society in Keep the Aspidistra Flying, the perils of modern suburban living in Coming Up for Air and surviving on the streets in A Clergymans Daughter. All the novels brought together here display Orwells humour, his understanding of human nature and his great compassion.
