Two world-changing novels. One visionary author. The warnings that refuse to stay fiction.
In 1984, George Orwell’s chilling dystopian vision comes to life. Set in an imagined future, society is controlled by a totalitarian regime where ‘Big Brother’ is always watching.
While most people have surrendered to the new reality, Winston is struggling. Haunted by his fragmented memories, he remembers a world where the truth wasn’t doctored, and your thoughts were your own.
As Winston seeks pleasure through small acts of rebellion, the ever-looming threat of the Thought Police grows stronger. But everything changes when Winston comes across ‘The Brotherhood’, a revolutionary secret organization that is conspiring to overthrow the government…

Animal Farm delivers Orwell’s searing political satire of the Russian Revolution. The oppressed animals of Manor Farm overthrow their cruel master, Mr Jones, in a bid to establish a just and equal society.
But as the days progress, the naïve animals find themselves in the throes of a treacherous conspiracy that threatens to destroy everything they’ve worked for.
George Orwell didn’t just write books—he wrote prophecies. Decades after publication, 1984 and Animal Farm remain startlingly, disturbingly relevant. Together, they form the most powerful indictment of totalitarianism ever written.
Chilling visions of surveillance, propaganda, and the death of objective truth.
“The elastic heart of youth cannot be compressed into one constrained shape long at a time.”
From tricking his friends into painting a fence (for fun!) to crashing his own funeral, Tom is never up to any good, much to Aunt Polly’s regret. He skips school to chase adventures and doesn’t like rules at all.
But a spooky night at a graveyard catapults him and his best friend Huck into a world a little more darker, a little less innocent.
Mark Twain transports us to a time of steamboats and straw hats, as Tom and his band of followers run past barefoot, plotting daring escapades and wrestling with pangs of conscience. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the enduring tale of learning to distinguish right from wrong in a fast-changing 19th century American town.
Suddenly, growing up isn’t just about pranks anymore.

‘कैलाश तुम्हारी पत्नी है। तुम्हारा कर्तव्य उसके लिए भी होना चाहिए। प्रत्येक संबंध अपनी जगह पर स्थिर रहना चाहिए। प्रत्येक संबंध को प्यार, स्नेह और सहृदयता दीजिए, जिसका यह अभिलाषी है। विवाहित जीवन में तुम्हें बदलना भी पड़ेगा। तुम्हारी ख़ुशी उसकी ख़ुशी है। उसकी ख़ुशी तुम्हारी ख़ुशी है और यही जीवन है।’
