Nathaniel Hawthorne

Review
A deep dive into the Puritan society and its strict moral codes. Hester Prynne’s resilience in the face of societal ostracization is commendable. Hawthorne’s exploration of sin, redemption, and the human spirit is both intricate and fascinating. The symbolic use of the scarlet letter “A” and the intertwined lives of the main characters make it a captivating read.

Ray Bradbury

Review
A chilling portrayal of a dystopian future where books are banned, and ‘firemen’ burn any that are found. Bradbury’s vision of a society that shuns intellectualism and embraces shallow entertainment feels eerily relevant. The journey of Guy Montag, from a conformist fireman to a rebel, is an intriguing exploration of personal awakening and societal critique.

George Orwell

Review
A brilliant allegory on the dangers of totalitarianism. Through the revolt of farm animals against their human master, Orwell critiques the corruption and betrayal of revolutionary ideals. The transformation of the pigs and their eventual similarity to the humans they overthrew is both satirical and grim. The line, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others,” perfectly encapsulates the story’s essence.
