About this product

Product Information

A well-priced edition of one of the greatest twentieth century novels, with a striking new jacket and an introduction by Charlotte Wood Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth in what remains of a Britain ravaged by revolution. His every move is monitored by the Thought Police, who are responsible for detecting dissent against the Party and its leader, Big Brother-and eliminating it. When he meets Julia, Winston thinks he might have found love, and a fellow loather of the Party. But when the pair are arrested and sent to the sinister Room 101 for re-education, their bond-and commitment to their shared cause-will be tested to its limits. George Orwell's dystopian vision of a world enslaved by doublethink and thoughtcrime is as terrifying now as it was on its initial publication in 1949. One of the great classics of the twentieth century, 1984 is a startlingly original and arresting novel about tyranny and the universal struggle of the individual against the malevolent tendencies of the modern state.

  • Essential reading

    Read this in the 70s and had an amazing impact on me. Bought this copy for my wife who had never read it. It still has an amazing impact and has so many lessons for anyone today who is interested in freedom of speech etc. A bit depressing but essential reading
