Description

Description

In a future without dates, a seemingly benevolent totalitarian State has brought happiness and conformity to its people. However, Professor Burden's individuality poses a threat to this existence. The Department of Internal Examination decides to cure him of his heresy, using persuasion if possible, but complete obliteration of his identity if necessary. This gripping psychological thriller is an indictment of totalitarianism, making it more relevant than ever. First published in 1953, One has been compared to great dystopian novels, including Darkness at Noon and Nineteen Eighty-Four. Its themes remain as pressing today as they were when it was first written.
