Orwell George 1984 - Nineteen Eighty Four
1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmare vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. "1984" is still the great modern classic "negative Utopia" - a startling original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny this novel's power, its hold on the imagination of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions - a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

Orwell George 1984 (Nineteen Eighty-Four)
Ravaged by years of war and civil conflict, Britain has changed its name to Airstrip One and become part of Oceania - one of the three totalitarian blocks dominating the world - ruled by a mysterious leader called Big Brother who keeps the population in thrall through strict surveillance and brutal police repression. In a society where the individual is suppressed and turned into an "unperson" for not conforming, and where not only personal thought, but also historical record and language itself are constantly being manipulated by the ruling regime, Ministry of Truth worker Winston Smith tries to make sense of the rebellious thoughts and passions that are stirring inside him, and finds himself impotent against the inexorable machine that surrounds him and threatens to crush him at any time. Arguably the greatest dystopian novel of all time and the most influential post-war work of fiction - which enriched the English language with words such as "Newspeak", "doublethink" and "thoughtcrime" - Nineteen Eighty-Four is a riveting read and a groundbreaking exploration of mass surveillance, censorship and mind control, which has a deep resonance with the world we live in.

Orwell George Nineteen Eighty-Four
Nineteen Eighty-Four tells the story of Winston Smith, an ordinary man struggling against the overwhelming power of a totalitarian state. Although he enjoys brief moments of love and freedom, Smith is doomed to fail in his battle with the torturer O’Brien, whose objective is not to destroy him but to make him conform. In the very last words of the novel, Orwell tells us that Smith ‘had won the battle over himself. He loved Big Brother’. In this study of political corruption, Orwell explores themes of memory, history, truth, identity and language which touch on the deepest philosophical concerns of mankind. But the phrases which define his fable – Big Brother, Newspeak, Room 101, Thought Police – have also become common currency. It is Orwell’s ability to combine the popular touch with serious thought expressed in English of exceptional purity which ensures that Nineteen Eighty-Four will continue to be regarded as one of the twentieth century’s abiding masterpieces.

HarperCollins с гордостью представляет невероятный ассортимент самых любимых и незаменимых классических произведений. Уинстон Смит переписывает историю. Это его работа. Спрятавшись в отделе документации разросшегося Министерства правды, он помогает партии и вездесущему Большому Брату контролировать народ Океании. Уинстон знает, что должен делать хороший гражданин Океании: показать свою преданность Большому Брату и партии; воздерживаться от всех пороков; и, что самое главное, не обладают собственными критическими мыслями. Новый блокнот, в котором он начал писать, определенно противоречит правилам – более того, Полиция мыслей могла бы арестовать его просто за то, что он у него есть. Тем не менее, когда Уинстон начинает писать свою собственную историю, в его сердце начинает расти семя восстания, которое может иметь разрушительные последствия. В последнем и самом известном романе Джорджа Оруэлла он исследует антиутопическое будущее, в котором тоталитарное правительство контролирует действия, мысли и даже эмоции своих граждан, осуществляя власть посредством контроля над языком и историей. Его непреходящая популярность является свидетельством мощной прозы Оруэлла и страстным политическим предостережением для сегодняшнего дня.
