2021 Facsimile of the 1949 Edition. Nineteen Eighty-Four: A Novel, often published as 1984, is Orwells famed dystopian novel originally published in 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwells ninth and final book completed in his lifetime. Thematically, Nineteen Eighty-Four is concerned with the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of all persons and behaviors within society. Orwell, himself a democratic socialist, modeled the authoritarian government in the novel after Stalinist Russia. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within politics and the ways in which they are manipulated. Nineteen Eighty-Four has become a classic literary example of political and dystopian fiction. It also popularized the term Orwellian as an adjective, with many terms used in the novel entering common usage, including Big Brother, doublethink, thoughtcrime, Newspeak, memory hole, 2 + 2 = 5, proles, Two Minutes Hate, telescreen, and Room 101. Time included it on its 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005. It was placed on the Modern Librarys 100 Best Novels, reaching No. 13 on the editors list and No. 6 on the readers list. In 2003, the novel was listed at No. 8 on The Big Read survey by the BBC. Parallels have been drawn between the novels subject matter and real life instances of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and violations of freedom of expression among other themes.Reviews: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...Orwells 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 s

A delightfully humorous and caustic satire on the rule of the many by the few. Animal Farm, The Guardian.I do not think I have ever read a novel more frightening and depressing; and yet, 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 of Nineteen Eighty-Four.One cannot help but be struck by the degree to which he (George Orwell) became, in Henry Jamess words, one of those upon whom nothing was lost. By declining to lie, even as far as possible to himself, and by his determination to seek elusive but verifiable truth, he showed how much can be accomplished by an individual who unites the qualities of intellectual honesty and moral courage. -- Christopher HitchensWe have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. ... There will be no art, no literature, no science. ... There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always, always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. -- George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four.This little volume contains two of the most prophetic and chilling novels of the twentieth century--Animal Farmand Nineteen Eighty-Four. Orwell clear-sightedly looks at humanity and human nature and shows us what could go terribly wrong.Orwell wrote Animal Farm - A Fairy Story in three months from November 1943 to February 1944. It was only published in August 1945 because it was seen for what it was: a critique of Stalins Soviet Union, which, much to Orwells disgust, was a strategic al

With a new introduction by Professor Richard Bradford this edition takes a fresh look at one of the great works of the twentieth century. Orwells classic dystopian fiction warns us of our future, and deals with issues that speak to multiple dangers faced by many nations today. Winston Smith is a member of the party and subject to constant surveillance by the eyes of Big Brother, the ruler of the society. Newspeak is designed to eradicate all political speech, Thoughtcrimes are categorized as any thoughts of resistance or rebellion against any aspect of society, and the threat of despatch to Room 101 is a looming warning to all.
