About this product
| Description | |
| Description | 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 w 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 vel about tyranny and the universal struggle of the individual against the malevolent tendencies of the modern state. |
