Animal Farm & Down and Out in Paris and London

The grand theme of Animal Farm has to do with the capacity for ordinary individuals to continue to believe in a revolution that has been utterly betrayed. Orwell attempts to reveal how those in power-Napoleon and his fellow pigs-pervert the democratic promise of the revolution. Animal Farm known at the beginning and the end of the novel as the Manor Farm symbolizes Russia and the Soviet Union under Communist Party rule. Down and Out in Paris and London first full-length work by the English author George Orwell. George Orwell wrote the memoir based on his experience of dishwashing in Paris and being a tramp in England in the late 1920s. It is a memoir in two parts on the theme of poverty in the two cities.
