There are books that entertain, and then there are books that change how you see the world. George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm belong firmly in the latter category—and now you can own both masterpieces in this beautifully packaged boxed set.

These aren’t just classics gathering dust on academic syllabi. They’re urgent, razor-sharp warnings about power, propaganda, and the fragility of truth—themes that feel startlingly relevant every time you open the news. 1984 plunges you into a surveillance state where language itself becomes a weapon, while Animal Farm delivers a devastating allegory about revolution betrayed, wrapped in deceptively simple prose.

What makes this 75th Anniversary Edition special? Each volume comes enriched with insightful contributions from literary luminaries:

  • 1984 features an introduction by Dolen Perkins-Valdez, a foreword by Thomas Pynchon, and afterwords by Sandra Newman and Erich Fromm
  • Animal Farm includes a foreword by Ann Patchett, an introduction by Téa Obreht, and an afterword by Russell Baker

Whether you’re discovering Orwell for the first time or returning to these prophetic works, this boxed set belongs on your shelf. Perfect for gifting to the politically curious, the literature lover, or anyone who believes that understanding the past is our best defense against repeating it.

Stop by the shop to pick up your set—we’d love to hear which Orwell novel speaks to you most powerfully.

What The Critics Are Saying

Orwell's penetrating vision of modern society gives '1984' its profound power.

The New York Times

As lucid as glass and quite as sharp... [Animal Farm] has the double meaning, the sharp edge, and the lucidity of Swift.

Time Magazine

1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book... Orwell's warning is more timely than ever.

The New Yorker

Orwell's satire is amply broad and cleverly conceived... Animal Farm has seen its way into the classroom, and it has stayed there.
