Description

Winston Smith's life is one of conformity, but as he begins to question the Party's authority, he finds himself at odds with its all-pervasive surveillance. This 75th anniversary edition of George Orwell's seminal novel features reproduced facsimile pages from his original manuscript. As Winston starts to think for himself, he becomes increasingly aware of the dangers of Thoughtcrime and the ever-watchful eye of Big Brother. The Ministry of Truth, where Winston works, is a place where history is reworked to serve the Party's interests. Orwell's powerful exploration of totalitarianism remains as relevant today as it was when first published, offering a haunting vision of a society in which individual freedom is suppressed and independent thought is discouraged.
