An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory\nAnimal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of\nNineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include\nBurmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and\nHomage to Catalonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780141191263\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Mass Market Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedLikeNew\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39569432903832,"sku":"VH-8CYE-IWT0","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/products\/61kiE6sOJnL.jpg?v=1617273468","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/decline-of-the-english-murder-penguin-great-ideas","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
