Animal Farm or 1984. George Orwell's works that still hold the top sales positions 75 years after their publication. Especially when events such as the war in Ukraine resonate with society. According to Quentin Kopp, chairman of the British Orwell Society, the writer's timelessness lies in the way he communicated his ideas. "He was able to express complex ideas in a clear and understandable way," Kopp said in an interview published by Czech Radio. Link to the interview here.
