"Orwell saw, to his credit, that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions.

About this product

Product Information

With extraordinary relevance and renewed popularity, George Orwell's 1984 takes on new life in this hardcover edition. Orwell saw, to his credit, that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions. It is, above all, a way of asserting power. -The New Yorker In 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organisation called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be. Lionel Trilling said of Orwell's masterpiece 1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. It is a fantasy of the political future, and like any such fantasy, serves its author as a magnifying device for an examination of the present. Though the year 1984 now exists in the past, Orwell's novel remains an urgent call for the individual willing to speak truth to power. AUTHOR: George Orwell (1903-1950) was born in India and served with the Imperial Police in Burma before joining the Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War. Orwell was the author of six novels as well as numerous essays and nonfiction works.

Must read for all High schoolers and most college students
The book seems eerily accurate to where we are now in society. It doesn't feel that different from where we are now. This should be must read material in schools and colleges.

It was a good book when I HAD to read it in school. Now that I chose to read it, it stands the test of time and proves why it's on most top 100 books of all time.
