Winston Smith begins a forbidden diary in a world where the state watches every word, thought and desire.
This beautiful deluxe gift edition presents Orwell's must-read dystopian novel with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and a silk ribbon.
In Airstrip One, Big Brother watches constantly. The Party controls language, history, memory and desire, while the Thought Police hunt even private dissent. Winston Smith works at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting records to fit each new lie. His secret diary and forbidden love for Julia become acts of rebellion, but in this world no hiding place stays safe for long.
1984 is a terrifying classic about surveillance, totalitarianism, propaganda, censorship and the erasure of individuality. This Vintage Collector's Classics edition is a striking gift for readers, collectors and anyone seeking a beautifully bound version of Orwell's essential dystopia.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."The year is 1984 and war and revolution have left the world unrecognisable. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One, is ruled by the Party, led by Big Brother. Mass surveillance is everything and The Thought Police are employed to ensure that no individual thinking is allowed.

Winston Smith works at The Ministry of Truth, carefully rewriting history, but he dreams of freedom and of rebellion. It is here that he meets and falls in love with Julia. They start a secret, forbidden affair - but nothing can be kept secret, and they are forced to face consequences more terrifying than either of them could have ever imagined.

A DYSTOPIAN MASTERPIECE, NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR IS THE POWERFUL AND PROPHETIC NOVEL THAT DEFINED THE 20TH CENTURY.

Recenzii

“Nineteen Eighty-Four is a remarkable book; as a virtuoso literary performance it has a sustained brilliance that has rarely been matched in other works of its genre…It is as timely as the label on a poison bottle.” –New York Herald Tribune

“A profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book…Orwell’s theory of power is developed brilliantly.” –The New Yorker

“A book that goes through the reader like an east wind, cracking the skin…Such are the originality, the suspense, the speed of writing, and withering indignation that it is impossible to put the book down.” –V. S. Pritchett

“Orwell’s novel escorts us so quietly, so directly, and so dramatically from our own day to the fate which may be ours in the future, that the experience is a blood-chilling one.” –Saturday Review

Textul de pe ultima copertă

While the totalitarianism that provoked George Orwell into writing 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' seems to be passing into oblivion, his harrowing, cautionary tale of a man trapped in a political nightmare has had the opposite fate, and its relevance and power to disturb our complacency seem to grow decade by decade.
