Description:
Newspeak, Big Brother, the vocabulary of 1984 has been absorbed into our language and has taken on a life of its own. George Orwell's novel from 1949 about the struggle of Winston Smith, a civil servant at the Ministry of Truth, against the all-pervasive Party, and his doomed love for Julia has lost none of its literary power of expression.
In Orwell's ever-reprinted anti-utopia, the world is in the stranglehold of a system based on the spread of fear, hatred and cruelty, and which excludes any form of personal freedom and individuality. 1984 remains valid as an oppressively precise blueprint for any dictatorial regime.
