Thanks community member KayOttik for sharing this deal

About this eBook:
  • Nineteen Eighty-Four: A Novel, often published as 1984, is a dystopian novel. A startling and haunting novel, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.
  • George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel—a scathing satire on a downtrodden society's blind march towards totalitarianism. The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, however, the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon. 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.

It seems very wrong to purchase either of these books from Amazon
I was gonna say, seems ironic to purchase books about restricting and banning thoughts from a place that promotes and practices restrictions and bannings of thoughts.

It's always funny when amazon sells books like this, then realizes they made a licensing mistake, and suddenly takes back everybody's purchases without warning and stuffs them down the memory hole.

Quote from Big0range View quoted comment :
Just finished rereading 1984 a couple months ago, quite the prescient work of today's efforts to place government-promoted interpretations of events, "experts", demonization of those with differing opinions and governmental ideals, and general authoritarianism supplanting real science and personal liberties and freedoms.
There's nothing really prescient about 1984, or animal farm. Orwell then is a lot like Doctorow is now. If you want to write a chilling view of the future, take what has already happened, and what is happening now... just put it in a future setting.
Orwell didn't predict anything. He observed WWII and fought in the Spanish civil war. All he had to do was write about what he knew about and describe its logical progression to the future where he set his book. It's not really predicting things when you take what somebody says and write about it.

Quote from RKKV View quoted comment :
1984 currently is, and has been, a commonly prescribed reading for high school students. I'm not aware of any pushes from any individual or political party to suppress or ban the book, and given that public high schools are funded by each level of government but still prescribe 1984 despite that, I don't see any push to ban it occurring any time soon. That isn't to say that you shouldn't read it, but rather that fears that it will be banned seem extraordinarily unlikely. Most of the current push around restricting access to books has been focused on content in schools that may be objectionable to some parents.

What's True
"To Kill a Mockingbird," by Harper Lee is one of the top ten most challenged and banned books of 2020. The same book, along with "1984" by George Orwell, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain, and "The Catcher in the Rye" by J. D. Salinger, are among the 100 most banned and challenged books of the past decade (2010-2019), according to the American Library Association.
