This edition has two Orwell novels in the same book: "Animal Farm" and "1984." There's no connection between the two novels beyond the fact that Orwell wrote both of them.

They are both warnings against totalitarianism. While “Animal Farm” uses the allegory of animals taking over a farm only to have their revolution turn sour, “1984” gives us a terrifying look at what an authoritarian regime could look like in the human world. They both cover a lot of the same themes and warnings. “Animal Farm” is much shorter, and while it is not a happy book, it is not as dark as “1984.”
