  • Amazon Review

    Among the seminal texts of the 20th century, Nineteen Eighty-Four is a rare work that grows more haunting as its futuristic purgatory becomes more real. Published in 1949, the book offers political satirist George Orwell's nightmare vision of a totalitarian, bureaucratic world and one poor stiff's attempt to find individuality. The brilliance of the novel is Orwell's prescience of modern life--the ubiquity of television, the distortion of the language--and his ability to construct such a thorough version of hell. Required reading for students since it was published, it ranks among the most terrifying novels ever written.

  • Product Description

    Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwells chilling prophecy about the future. The story follows the life of one seemingly insignificant man, Winston Smith, a civil servant assigned the task of falsifying recordsand political literature, thus effectively perpetuating propaganda. Hegrows disillusioned with his meagre existence and so begins anultimately futile rebellion against the system. The novel hasbecome famous for its satirical portrayal of surveillance and society sincreasing encroachment on the rights of the individual. Author: George Orwell Format: 336 pages, paperback, 4.29 x 6.88 inches Publisher: Penguin Group ISBN: 9780451524935
