About
Winston Smith follows the Party line, rewriting history to meet the Ministry of Truth's demands. Winston begins to despise the Party that pursues power for its own sake and persecutes individuals who dare to commit thoughtcrimes with each lie he writes. Winston can't avoid the fact that Big Brother is always monitoring as he begins to think for himself...
1984 is a striking and unsettling work that establishes a perfectly plausible imagined universe from beginning to end. No one can doubt the novel's ability to capture the imaginations of entire generations, or the strength of its warnings-power that appears to expand, rather than diminish, with the passage of time.

"A profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book…Orwell's theory of power is developed brilliantly."
The New Yorker
"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
"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
