For the first half-century after its publication, Orwell's dystopia 1984 was perceived as a wicked satire of communist regimes.
But, unfortunately, the prophetic details of the world of 1984 are increasingly becoming a reality in today's supposedly decommunised world.The novel 1984, along with such works as We by Yevgeny Zamyatin (1920), Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (1932) and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (1953), is considered a cult example of dystopia.

Orwell's Animal Farm is a parable full of bitter irony and sarcasm. It is a tragic story of a community of animals who decided to get rid of human oppression and fell under the brutal rule of pigs.
The novel depicts the evolution of a community of naive animal revolutionaries who expelled their owner, the cruel Mr Jones: from romantic freedom to the dictatorship of a treacherous and selfish boar nicknamed Napoleon.
In the novel, Orwell showed the rebirth of revolutionary principles and programmes, that is, the gradual transition from the ideas of universal equality and the construction of utopia to dictatorship and totalitarianism.
