by Peter Hobley Davison, George Orwell

Nineteen Eighty-Four
Nineteen Eighty-Four

Dystopian future, totalitarian regime, personal rebellion.

"Nineteen Eighty-Four" isn't just a book; it's a profound warning that feels eerily contemporary, touching on the dangers of unchecked governmental power and mass surveillance. It speaks to the rebel in all of us, the part that yearns for freedom in the face of oppressive forces. Picking up this book might change the way you see the world and question the power structures around you.

Description

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth in London, chief city of Airstrip One. Big Brother stares out from every poster, the Thought Police uncover every act of betrayal. When Winston finds love with Julia, he discovers that life does not have to be dull and deadening, and awakens to new possibilities. Despite the police helicopters that hover and circle overhead, Winston and Julia begin to question the Party; they are drawn towards conspiracy. Yet Big Brother will not tolerate dissent - even in the mind. For those with original thoughts they invented Room 101 . . . Nineteen Eighty-Four is George Orwell's terrifying vision of a totalitarian future in which everything and everyone is slave to a tyrannical regime.
