This edition features George Orwell's best known novels – 1984 and Animal Farm – with an introduction by Christopher Hitchens. In 1984, London is a grim city where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind.  Winston Smith joins a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be.Animal Farm is Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution -- an account of the bold struggle, initiated by the animals, that transforms Mr. Jones's Manor Farm into Animal Farm--a wholly democratic society built on the credo that All Animals Are Created Equal. But are they?

Moral allegory and spiritual autobiography, The Little Prince is the most translated book in the French language. With a timeless charm it tells the story of a little boy who leaves the safety of his own tiny planet to travel the universe, learning the vagaries of adult behaviour through a series of extraordinary encounters. His personal odyssey culminates in a voyage to Earth and further adventures.

George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel—a scathing satire on a downtrodden society’s blind march towards totalitarianism.“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.  When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

April, 1984. Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is watching him, and the door to Room 101 can swing open in the blink of an eye. Its ideas have become our ideas, and Orwell’s fiction is often said to be our reality. The definitive book of the 20th century is re-examined in a radical new adaptation exploring why Orwell’s vision of the future is as relevant as ever."This is a staging that reconsiders a classic with such steely power that it chills brain, blood and bone." - The Times"[A] pitilessly brilliant retelling." - Guardian"This risk-taking adaptation of George Orwell's masterpiece is doubleplusgood." - Telegraph"A theatrical tour de force that has the destructive power of an earthquake." - The Stage"Skilfully brought to life.... This is a very neat theatrical telling of the classic dystopian parable which is more a study of internal tension and tiny acts of defiance as it is a political drama... a work of extraordinary quality and intensity." - IndependentEric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950), better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist and journalist, whose most famous works include the novella Animal Farm, and the classic dystopia 1984.Duncan Macmillan is an award-winning writer and director. Plays include: Lungs (Paines Plough/Sheffield Crucible and Studio Theatre Washington D.C.), Platform (Old Vic Tunnels), Monster (Royal Exchange/Manchester International Festival), The Most Humane Way to Kill A Lobster (Theatre 503), I Wish To Apologise For My Part In The Apocalypse, So Say All of Us and Family Tree (all BBC Radio 4).Robert Icke was artistic director of the Arden Theatre Company in Stockton-on-Tees from 2003–7 and of the Swan Theatre Company in Cambridge from 2005–8, where he was awarded the Susie Gautier-Smith Prize for his contribution to theatre.

Mürrisch, kompromisslos wie und eh je und nach dem Tod seiner Tochter auch vollkommen wortlos ist der Hauptkommissar Behzat Ç. auch in »verschütt gegangen« unermüdlich im Einsatz, widersetzt sich den Gepflogenheiten des türkischen Polizeiapparats und pflegt seine Vorliebe für Alkohol und Zigaretten. In dem neuen Krimi von Emrah Serbes begeben sich der desillusionierte Polizist und seine Kollegen von der Mordkommission Ankara auf die Spur eines Serienmörders, der die Polizei nach jedem Mord über die Grabstätte der Opfer informiert. Behzat Ç., der sich mit dem Mörder nicht nur den Psychologen, sondern auch einige andere Wesenszüge teilt, buddelt sich mit seinem Team durch die türkische Hauptstadt, hinkt dem Täter aber trotzdem immer einen Schritt hinterher.Auszug:-------„Tahsin hatte eine Tatortskizze, die er tags zuvor angefertigt hatte, auf Behzat Ç.s Schreibtisch ausgebreitet. „Jetzt wird’s ernst, Jungs. Schaut bitte alle mal hierher!“ Die vier Polizisten beugten sich über die Skizze. Behzat Ç. reichte seine Schachtel 216 reihum. Der Geist bediente sich, Harun, der nur alle zwei Tage drei Zigaretten rauchte, winkte ab, und Tahsin sagte: „Ich habe aufgehört.“ Es gab zwei Typen von Menschen, die Behzat Ç. nie verstehen würde: Die einen brachten Kinder um, die ande ren gaben das Rauchen auf. Wobei er das Verhalten Ersterer aufgrund seiner Berufserfahrung wenigstens in Ansätzen nachvollziehen konnte...“

Old Istanbul aristocrats, Turkish teashops, imperial diamonds, and great and humble mosques are juxtaposed with the almost non-descriptive portrayals of neighborhood friendships, family relations, and local public figures who could be found in any city in Turkey or, perhaps, any Eastern setting where the old way of life adopts new and Western counterparts. Ahmet H. Tanpinar's portrayal of modern, post-Ottoman Turkey weaves a theater of the absurd, suggestively representative of the early days of the young Republic. This translation is introduced by an essay by the late Berna Moran, a leading Turkish literary critic.

"My heroes are Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar, Oguz Atay, and Yusuf Atilgan. I have become a novelist by following their footsteps . . . I love Yusuf Atilgan; he manages to remain local although he benefits from Faulkner's works and the Western traditions."--Orhan Pamuk"Motherland Hotel is a startling masterpiece, a perfect existential nightmare, the portrait of a soul lost on the threshold of an ever-postponed Eden."--Alberto Manguel"This moving and unsettling portrait of obsession run amok might have been written in 1970s Turkey, when social mores after Ataturk were still evolving, but it stays as relevant as the country struggles to save the very democratic ideals on which the Republic was rebirthed. . . . brilliant writing . . . "--Poornima Apte, Booklist, Starred Review"Turkish writer Atilgan's classic 1973 novel about alienation, obsession, and precipitous decline, nimbly translated by Stark. . . . An unsettling study of a mind, steeped in violence, dropping off the edge of reason."--Kirkus Reviews"A maladroit loner who runs the seen-better-days Motherland Hotel in a backwater Turkish town, Zeberjet has become obsessed with a female guest who stayed there briefly and frantically anticipates her presumed return. . . . as Zeberjet becomes increasingly unhinged, we're drawn into his dark interior life while coming to understand Turkey's post-Ottoman uncertainty. Sophisticated readers will understand why Atilgan is called the father of Turkish modernism, while those who enjoy dark psychological novels can also appreciate."--Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal"Yusuf Atilgan gives us a wonderful, timeless novel about obsession, with an anti-hero who is both victim and perpetrator, living out a life 'neither dead nor alive' in a sleepy Aegean city. Motherland Hotel is an absolute gem of Turkish literature."--Esmahan Aykol, author of Divorce Turkish Style"Yusuf Atilgan, like Patrick Modiano, demonstrates how the everyday can reflect larger passions and catastrophes. Beautifully written and translated, Motherland Hotel can finally find the wider audience in the west that it deserves."--Susan Daitch, author of The Lost Civilization of Suolucidir"The freedom that Atilgan articulates isn t the freedom of Lord Byron or Milton Friedman. It s more like the sense of freedom that comes with finally having a diagnoses. It s the freedom that comes from understanding that you re imprisoned in other people s ideas of freedom. But there s a consolation and a quiet wisdom that comes from understanding that these definitions will pass in turn, like guests checking out of a hotel."--Scott Beauchamp, Full StopZeberjet, the last surviving member of a once prosperous Ottoman family, is the owner of the Motherland Hotel, a run-down establishment a rundown establishment near the railroad station. A lonely, middle-aged introvert, his simple life is structured by daily administrative tasks and regular, routine sex with the hotel's maid. One day, a beautiful woman from the capital comes to spend the night, promising to return "next week," and suddenly Zeberjet's insular, mechanical existence is dramatically and irrevocably changed. The mysterious woman's presence has tantalized him, and he begins to live his days in fevered anticipation of her return. But the week passes, and then another, and as his fantasies become more and more obsessive, Zeberjet gradually loses his grip on reality.Motherland Hotel was hailed as the novel of the year when it was published in 1973, astonishing critics with its experimental style, its intense psychological depth and its audacious description of sexual obsession. Zeberjet was compared to such memorable characters as Quentin Compson in Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury and Meursault in Albert Camus' The Stranger. While author Yusuf Atilgan had already achieved considerable literary fame, Motherland Hotel cemented his reputation as one of Turkey's premier modernists."

Peyami Safa'nın şaheserlerinden Dokuzuncu Hariciye Koğuşu, Türk edebiyatında "insan ruhunun derinliklerinde ve labirentlerinde dolaşan ilk roman" olması ve hasta bir insanı ve onun psikolojisini ele alması bakımından önemli bir yere sahiptir. Birçok araştırmacı ve yazar tarafından Türk edebiyatında bir ilk kabul edilen Dokuzuncu Hariciye Koğuşu, Tanpınar'ın dediği gibi, "acının ve ıstırabın yegâne kitabı" olarak hem kemiyet hem de keyfiyet bakımından başka hiçbir eser olmasa da Türk romanının var olduğuna delil gösterilebilecek kudrette bir eserdir. Romanın genç kahramanı, ayağındaki rahatsızlıktan kurtulabilmek için sayısız doktora görünür ve en nihayetinde havadar bir ortamda, stresten uzak bir istirahat dönemi geçirmesi gerektiğine ikna edilir. Ancak, gerek akrabaları olan bir Paşa'nın Erenköyü'ndeki köşkünde misafir kaldığı dönemde, gerekse kendi evi ve hastaneye gidiş gelişlerinde şuurunu adeta bir facia atmosferinde yoğurur. Peyami Safa'nın çocukluk ve gençlik dönemlerinden fazlasıyla izler taşıyan roman, hem umudu ve umutsuzluğu hem de sevinci ve felaketi aynı sayfalara sığdırabilmiş olması bakımından insanın eşsiz bir tarifini sunuyor.

Dünyanın, şahsına karşı kurulmuş bir komplo olduğuna inanan, genç ve avare metin yazarı Musa… Onun, hayatın her alanına derin ve samimi bir merakla yaklaşan,temiz kalpli ev arkadaşı Şaban… Diğer tarafta, gaddar bir kedi tarafından yönetilen, birbirinden tuhaf çalışanlarıyla bir reklam ajansı: Menekşe gözlü sanat yönetmeni Sanem, esmer ve seksi sekreterler Mehtap ile Sevilay, durmaksızın ağlayan yaratıcı yönetmen Çeşme, psişik-sismograf çaycı Ercan… Ve şöhretler: Tesla, Prens Charles, Kaan Sezyum, Küçük Prens, Süpermen ve diğerleri… Özgün üslubuyla, ilk kitabı Tatlı Rüyalar’dan itibaren geniş bir hayran kitlesi edinen Alper Canıgüz’den yine eğlenceli, heyecanlı ve kışkırtıcı bir absürd macera…“Patronumuz Şeytan Bey’dir ve sizden de çok hoşlandığını söyleyebilirim.”Neydi bu şimdi? şaka mı? “Öyle mi?” dedim bu manyakça oyuna bir tur ayak uydurmaya karar vererek. “Nereden biliyorsunuz?”“Kendisi söyledi.”Elimden geldiğince aptal gibi görünmemeye çalışarak gülümsedim.“Ben kaçırmışım o kısmını.”“Sizin hatanız değil. Telepatik olarak iletti düşüncelerini.”“Evet anlıyorum,” diye kestirip attım, yeni işimi daha başlamadan bırakmak zorunda kalmamak için. “Öyleyse kendisine teşekkürlerimi de iletin.”“Ona kendiniz de teşekkür edebilirsiniz,” dedi Tunçay Bey bıyık altından gülerek.“Şeytan Bey görüşmenin başından beri burada, aramızda bulunuyor.” Bardağına iki buz attıktan sonra pipetini uzun uzun emdi ve boş bakışlarıma yanıt olarak, o kocaman işaret parmağıyla, masanın üzerinde psikopatça beni kesmekte olan kara kediyi işaret etti.

Kişinin kendiyle savaşmasını ve yenmesini, kendini dönüştürmesini hayati bir sorun olarak algılamaya çağıran, çarpıcı ve sarsıcı bir roman. Romanın baş kişisi Hikmet Benol, toplumdaki yoğun kargaşanın temelinde yatan gerçekliği araştırırken, gerçeklerle içtenlikle ilgilenmenin toplumu yönetenlerce tehlikeli görüldüğünü seziyor ve 'oyun oynuyormuş gibi' ilgilenmenin ve yaşamanın yollarını araştırıyor. Ve hem 'tehlikeli' hem de 'oyun'la dolu bir yolda gidebileceği son noktaya kadar ilerliyor...

Karanlığın, yılankavi sokakların, demkeşlerin, paranın hüküm sürdüğü Galata'nın, karın deşip boğaz kesen, husye burup göz çıkartan hikâyelerin, zagon üzerine öttürenlerin, bahtsızların, yolcuların, rüya görenlerin, maceracıların şehrindeyiz. Uzun İhsan Efendi'nin yedi iklimde, dört bucakta, yeraltında ve yerüstünde gezinen dünya atlasında… İhsan Oktay Anar'ın unutulmayan ilk romanı Puslu Kıtalar Atlası, bu defa İlban Ertem'in masalsı çizgileriyle çizgi roman olarak karşımızda. Beş yıl süren, kolay anlatılamayacak bir emek, tutkuyla dolu bir sadakat, civa gibi bir sayfadan diğerine akıp giden ustalık… İlban Ertem, Türkçe edebiyatta eşi benzeri olmayan bir uyarlamayla magnum opus'unu gün yüzüne çıkarıyor. Oyunbaz ve zifiri… Büyük bir "resimli roman".

"Bu manasız ve yabancı hayatta bir tek şeye hakikaten sarılmış, hakikaten inanır gibi olmuştu. Bu da karısı idi. Muazzez'in varlığı Yusuf için büyük, boşlukları dolduracak mahiyette bir şey değildi, fakat onun yokluğu müthişti. Onun bu kadar sebepsiz yere, bu kadar insafsızca Yusuf'un hayatından koparılması çıldırtacak kadar acı idi. Hayatında asıl aradığı şeyin Muazzez olmadığını biliyordu, fakat Muazzez olmadan bunu aramaya muktedir olamayacağını sanıyordu."Kuyucaklı Yusuf, Türk edebiyatının belki de en romantik kahramanıdır. Hayatın ve insanların zalimliği karşısındaki naif duruşu ile bir yandan trajik bir sona ilerlerken, bir yandan da yaşadığı lirik aşk hikayesinin kahramanı olarak edebiyat tarihinde yerini almıştır.Sabahattin Ali büyük romanı Kuyucaklı Yusuf'ta lirik ve romantik bir kahramanın yanı sıra, zalim ve ağulu bir taşra portresini bütün aktörleriyle gözümüzde canlandırır.

Ben bu anı daha önce de yaşamamıştım sanki…”Gül bahçesi maziye, kanlı bir yolculuk…Kan ve Gül, fantastik bir polisiye. Rengini kandan, kokusunu gülden alan bir roman. Ziyadesiyle hazin, epey hareketli, hayli komik.İkinci sınıf aşk romanları çevirmeni, orta sıklet avare Aziz, bir yangında küle dönüşmek üzereyken, zamanda yolculuk yaparak yirmi yıl öncesine döner; üstelik yirmi yaş gençleşmiş bir halde.Henüz işlenmemiş bir cinayeti çözmek üzere harekete… geçmesi pekala mümkündür. Karizmatik sosyopat Abdül’ün hayatını kurtarması… galiba iyi olacaktır. Mazi tesisatını tamir edebilirse, hayatı, istikbal musluklarından temiz ve tazyikli bir su gibi akacaktır. Biricik aşkı Nergis’ten hiç ayrılmayacak, kızı Zeynep’e hakkıyla babalık edecektir.Peki, bu amatör dedektif, kaderin hükmünü değiştirebilecek midir?Maktulü kurtardığına, katili bulduğuna memnun olacak mıdır?Geleceği görmek mi daha zordur yoksa geçmişi mi?Kara mizah ustası Alper Canıgüz, beşinci romanında, kurgu ve anlatımdaki yetkinliğini bir adım daha öteye taşıyor.

Böyle olmasını istemezdim ama hep olurdu. Dünyanın bütün kızılderilileri yenilir, Spartaküs kaybeder, gün batarken sararır, kuşlar döner, Sadri Alışık denilen hergele, her filminde ağlardı. O ağladıkça ben de ağlardım. Nedenimi bilmez ağlardım. Ağladıkça Sadri'ye kıl kapar gıcık olurdum. Üçüncü şahıs olarak kalışına, hep gidici kadınları sevişine, bu gidiciliklerin bir mecburiyet gibi duruşuna, Sadri'nin bu mecburiyetlere, giden kişinin özgürlüğü olarak bakıp, ona ihanet etmemek için kendine ihanet edişine.

Daha anlamlı yaşamak için İlber Ortaylı’dan tavsiyeler…“Cesur olun. Kendinizi rahat hissettiğiniz alanın dışında pencereler açın. Farklı dünyalarla ancak böyle tanışırsınız. Ben hep yerimde dursaydım, dünyamı değiştirecek insanları aramasaydım, bugün tanıdığınız ben olmazdım. Bir insanın bittiği an, miskinliğe esir olduğu andır. İnsan, konforundan vazgeçmeyi göze almalıdır.
