The Complete Novels

This volume gathers Orwell's six novels. Burmese Days follows a timber merchant in colonial Burma among club racism and a doomed courtship. A Clergyman's Daughter traces Dorothy Hare through loss of memory, hop-picking, and a London school. Keep the Aspidistra Flying is about Gordon Comstock's revolt against the money-god. Coming Up for Air sends insurance man George Bowling back to a changed Thames Valley childhood. Animal Farm allegorizes a farm revolt that hardens into a new tyranny. Nineteen Eighty-Four is a novel of surveillance, Party language, and Winston Smith's private rebellion in a future London. The set is the fiction, not the essays.
