It's the year 1984 and Britain, now known as Oceania, has been thrust into a perpetual darkness of war, propaganda, and constant surveillance. In this Orwellian world, nothing is private and not even your thoughts are safe. 'The past was dead, the future was unimaginable.' Winston Smith hates Oceania. He hates the governing party of Ingsoc. And most of all, he hates the ever-watchful eye of Big Brother. When an illicit romantic relationship fills him with ideas of revolt, he begins to remember what life was like before the oppressive regime. As his rebellious thoughts materialise in dangerous acts of treason, could he help to instigate the fall of the totalitarian system? Modelled on Stalinist Russia, George Orwell's famed novel Nineteen Eighty-Four explores the position of truth within politics and testifies to the harsh reality of life under dictatorial rule. First published in 1949, this new edition of the classic dystopian work is now complete with an introductory essay, 'Why I Write', by the author.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950) was an English novelist, essay writer, critic and journalist born in Bengal, British India. Better known by his pen name, George Orwell, the writer's most famous works include the novels Animal Farm, 1945, and Nineteen Eighty-Four, 1949. His work boldly expresses his opposition to totalitarianism, and he is well-known for weaving social and political commentary into his texts. His influence is still widely seen today, for example, the adjective 'Orwellian' is commonly used to describe an authoritarian idea or social practise.
