'It was a bright cold day in April, when the clocks were striking 13.' George Orwell creates a terrifying vision of a totalitarian future, in which everything and everyone is slave to a tyrannical regime. 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, the couple begin to question the Party. They are drawn towards conspiracy, yet Big Brother will not tolerate dissent, even within your own mind. For those with original thoughts they invented Room 101. This classic was first published in 1949. 326 page facsimile reprint, Penguin paperback.
