Wikisource:Requested texts/1949

On January 1, 2045, many published works will be entering the US public domain. Those would be all the works first published in 1949. This is an attempt to accumulate a body of likely-popular works so we can have people immediately working on things that interest them, on New Year's Day.

Novels

 * Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell

Short stories

 * The Bishop of Hell and Other Stories (collection) by Marjorie Bowen
