Well, I'm not so sure. I don't think they are public domain here in the US.
Orwell dies in 1950. Here in the US it's Life +75, meaning it won't be PD here until 2025.
Unless we go by Date of Publishing. Animal Farm (1945) 1984 (1949). I'm not certain how to calculate PD books by date of publication.
