Nineteen Eighty-Four

George Orwell’s 1984, „thought police”, „doublethink”, „newspeak”, „big brother” – 1984 itself: these terms and concepts are no longer confined to fictional realms but are now commonplace. Central to our thinking about freedom and its suppression, they were reinvented by George Orwell in 1949 when he conjured his dystopian vision of a world of absolute totalitarian power. Readers can explore the dark and extraordinary world he brought so fully to life in this novel, which has remained popular since its first publication. The main characters who guide us through this world are ordinary people like us: Winston Smith and Julia, whose fall in love is also an act of rebellion against the Party. They are opposed by the massive powers of the state, watching its citizens on all sides through technology that is now all too familiar. No one is free from surveillance; the past is constantly altered so that there is no truth except the latest version; and Big Brother, both loved and feared, controls everything.
