Description
Bend Sinister is a dystopian novel that explores a society under the control of a tyrannical regime. The state has been taken over by the 'Average Man' party, which promotes equality and happiness for all, but at the cost of individualism and freedom of thought. A brilliant philosopher, John Krug, stands alone in his opposition to the new order, while his old enemy, Paduk, also known as the 'Toad', rises to power. As Krug grieves over his wife's recent death, he initially dismisses Paduk's activities, but soon finds himself facing a sinister machine that threatens even his own individuality. This re-issue edition of Bend Sinister presents a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of the dangers of totalitarianism, where one man's struggle for freedom becomes a battle against an oppressive regime.
