Nineteen Eighty-Four

by George Orwell

Nineteen Eighty-Four Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This new centennial edition is the masterpiece of rebellion and imprisonment, where war is peace, freedom is slavery, and Big Brother is watching.

Synopsis:

A masterpiece of rebellion and imprisonment, where war is peace freedom is slavery, and Big Brother is watching... Thought Police. Big Brother. Orwellian. These words have entered our vocabulary because of George Orwell's classic dystopian novel, 1984. The story of one man's nightmare odyssey as he pursues a forbidden love affair through a world ruled by warring states and a power structure that controls not only information but also individual thought and memory, 1984 is a prophetic, haunting tale. More relevant than ever before, 1984 exposes the worst crimes imaginable--the destruction of truth, freedom, and individuality.

Synopsis:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 338-339).
