All his works are covered, including two of the most-recognized novels of the 20th century: ""Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four""; his famous essays, such as ""Politics and the English Language"" and ""Shooting an Elephant""; his book-length nonfiction, such as ""Homage to Catalonia and Down and Out in Paris and London""; and more. Also included are detailed entries on his life and related people, places, and topics. The entries include: synopses and critical assessments of all of Orwell's work; descriptions of characters in Orwell's fiction, such as Winston Smith, Napoleon the pig, and more; descriptions of people, places, and topics important in Orwell's life and work, such as communism, the Spanish Civil War, and more; and appendixes, including a chronology and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources.
