Nineteen Eighty-Four (also published as 1984) is a dystopian novel by the English writer George Orwell. It was published on 8 June 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwells ninth and final completed book. Thematically, it centres on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance and repressive regimentation of people and behaviours within society. Orwell, a democratic socialist and an anti-Stalinist, modelled an authoritarian socialist Britain on the Soviet Union in the era of Stalinism and the practices of state censorship and state propaganda in Nazi Germany. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within societies and the ways in which they can be manipulated.The story takes place in an imagined future. The current year is uncertain, but believed to be 1984. Much of the world is in perpetual war. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One, has become a province of the totalitarian superstate Oceania, which is led by Big Brother, a dictatorial leader supported by an intense cult of personality manufactured by the Partys Thought Police.

Animal Farm (originally Animal Farm: A Fairy Story) is a satirical allegorical dystopian novella, in the form of a beast fable, by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. It follows the anthropomorphic farm animals of the fictional Manor Farm as they rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where all animals can be equal, free, and happy away from human interventions. However, by the end of the novella, the rebellion is betrayed, and under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon, the farm ends up in a far worse state than it was before.According to Orwell, Animal Farm reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union, a period when Russia lived under the MarxistLeninist ideology of Joseph Stalin. Orwell, a democratic socialist, was a critic of Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, an attitude that was critically shaped by his experiences during the Barcelona May Days conflicts between the POUM and Stalinist forces, during the Spanish Civil War.

A janela sobre a ditadura brasileira que os documentos norte-americanos nos oferecem continua essencialmente inexplorada, com uma quantidade expressiva de material documental inédito, sobretudo em temas de politica domestica. A partir dos arquivos ianques, este estudo de folego nos oferece um acesso privilegiado a realidade contemporanea da ditadura.Se e conhecida a influencia dos Estados Unidos sobre o golpe de 1964, de que forma a interlocuço ocorria ao longo do regime? Sob uma perspectiva privilegiada, os diplomatas ianques tinham acesso livre aqueles que participavam do processo decisorio da ditadura brasileira. Isso envolve de empresarios a membros da classe politica, de intelectuais a jornalistas e ativistas sociais. E, claro, os proprios militares.Felipe Loureiro, por mais de uma decada, dedicou-se a analisar documentos diplomaticos do periodo, entre telegramas, memorandos, relatorios e cartas. Sem desconsiderar as limitaçes dos arquivos, o historiador revela as entranhas do processo de construço e declinio do periodo mais longo de exceço politica da historia brasileira.Olhares ianques reconstroi as contradiçes, complexidades e incertezas vivenciadas por atores centrais do regime. Ao passo que joga luz a informaçes ineditas, Loureiro nos alerta para a profuso de informaçes que ainda segue intocada: "Em meio a tantos trechos cobertos por frias tarjas pretas, persiste a sensaço de que a ditadura se projetava continuamente sobre a atmosfera da redemocratizaço, como um sujeito oculto invisivel, mas palpavel."

O memorialista de O espelho e a mesa dá continuidade a suas reflexes autobiograficas em uma narrativa capaz de emocionar e inspirar leitores de todas as idades.Situado na tenue fronteira entre a reflexo autobiografica e a ficço do cotidiano, este memorial escrito em homenagem a um grande amor emociona e ao mesmo tempo interpela quem se lança a sua instigante leitura. "Sou um poço de lembranças. Esqueço de algumas coisas, mas lembro de muitas mais." Para Roberto Pompeu de Toledo a lembrança e o contrario da morte, e as coisas, lugares e pessoas que a memoria retem so de uma riqueza incalculavel. Neste Memorial do inverno, o consagrado escritor e jornalista converte o mergulho no passado e na morte em uma potente reivindicaço da vida.
