The Collected Works of George Orwell— 1984. Animal Farm. Down and Out in Paris and London

A lot of things that Orwell described as if happening in 1984 can be observed in the nowadays world. However, he depicted the future that everyone should be afraid of at any time.

The anti-utopian parable or satiric story Animal Farm is an allegory of the Revolution of 1917 and the following events in the USSR. It shows the transformation of supposedly animal society: from the complete freedom after the cruel former owner, Mr. Jones was banished to the dictatorship of the boar, Napoleon.

Down and Out in Paris and London is a memoir in two parts on the theme of poverty in the two cities, which was written deliberately in a nonacademic tone.
