the Left Book Club in 1936 was Orwell’sfourth novel. This book started Orwell’s life-long career change to political writing. Thefirst part of this book is reporting on the poor and unemployed. The second part is anessay on class and socialism, as I mentioned before. It was the first statement of Orwell’spolitical position. (Wykes 50-60) Homage to Catalonia, Orwell’s fifth novel, completedhis break with the orthodox left. It is an attempt to tell the truth about war from Orwell’spoint of view. The genre to which this book belongs was later defined by Orwell as the“Political book...a sort of enlarged pamphlet combining history with political criticism”.Orwell came to believe that Homage to Catalonia was the best book he had ever written.During winter in 1938, Orwell wrote his sixth novel Coming Up for Air. It is thediscovery of George Bowling, that his boy-hood home has changed like everything else.It is regarded as his best novel (with the exception of Animal Farm and NineteenEighty-Four). It illustrates in great detail, the fact that everything peaceful eventuallybecomes corrupt. After Coming Up for Air, Orwell wrote one of his most-loved novels,Animal Farm. It is the “fairy story” of an animal revolution on the Manor Farm, Theanimals create a socialistic republic in which “Some animals are more equal than others”(Orwell). The book an allegorical essay on the Russian Revolution. By the end of thebook the pigs disobey the laws of “Animal Farm”, but as they do so, they change the lawsto fit their needs. Animal Farm is a spiritual parody of the Communist Manifesto (Calder5-20) Animal Farm was followed by Orwell’s eighth and last novel, NineteenEighty-Four. Another of Orwell’s best novels, 1984 is the story of Winston Smith. Smithis a member of a totalitarianist party ruled by the god-like Big Brother. There is nofreedom, privacy or choice.
