Zvieracia farma je politickou satirou na revolúciu, ktorá sa vymkla z rúk. Zvieratá sa zbavia nadvlády nenávidených ľudí a zavedú si svoj vlastný režim, v ktorom si všetci majú byť rovní. Z nádherných ideálov revolúcie sa však postupne stáva nočná mora. Prasce sa zmocnili koryta, a teda aj vlády, postupne si začali prispôsobovať zákony a legendárny slogan "Všetky zvieratá sú si rovné" sa čoskoro mení na "Všetky zvieratá sú si rovné, ale niektoré sú si rovnejšie". Aby sa prasce udržali pri moci, zavedú teror, šíria strach a hrôzu, poštvú proti sebe zvieratá, zavedú kasty, ... Knihu preložil Miloš Ruppeldt.
Every town should have a 'card' - someone who gets talked about, someone who does mad and wonderful things, someone who makes you laugh. Bursley in the Five Towns has a 'card': Edward Henry Machin (Denry for short). Denry begins life in a poor little house where the rent is twenty-three pence a week. But before he's thirty, he's made a lot of money, and had more adventures than you and I have had hot dinners. The town of Bursley never stops talking about him. Whatever will young Denry do next?
V krajine detstva malebné mesto St. Petersburg spí na lenivom Mississipi, no v jeho uličkách Tom a jeho priatelia vyvádzajú. Neustále na úteku pred „nespravodlivými“ trestami dospelých, vymýšľajú nové žartíky. Skutočné dobrodružstvo sa však začína, keď jednú noc na cintoríne dôjde k vražde a len Tom a jeho priateľ Huck Finn videli, kto je vrah. Tom Sawyer – kto si hneď nepomyslí na veľké dobrodružstvo a vynaliezavého chlapca, ktorý má v sebe kus šibalstva. Teta Polly má s týmto dobrodružným chlapcom plné ruky práce, keďže Tom neustále vymýšľa nové žartíky. S priateľmi prenasledujú tajomné postavy, v lese sa bojujú ako rytieri, zakladajú si tábor ako piráti na ostrove a objavujú poklad v jaskynných labyrintoch. Láska k Becky Toma trápi a teší, a aj keď dostáva rany od učiteľa, jeho šibalstvo mu šťastie neberie. Na konci sa on a Huck Finn tešia z slávy a bohatstva, pričom ostávajú verní svojmu dobrodružnému životu.
