It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

What happens when ill-treated farm animals gang up to throw out their lazy, corrupt and power-drunk rulers? Animal Farm is born. As humans get ousted from Manor Farm and animals take control, their utopian fantasy of running a farm on the basis of equality soon begins to crumble before their eyes. The rebellion of the animals, led by the two pigs Napoleon and Snowball, gives way to corrupt practices that lead to unthinkable consequences.

Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching... A startling and haunting novel, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations.

Published in the summer of 1949, George Orwell’s 1984 is one of the most definitive texts of modern literature. Set in Oceania, one of the three intercontinental super states that divided the world amongst themselves after a global war, Orwell’s masterful critique of the political structures of the time, works itself out through the story of Winston Smith, a man caught in the webs of a dystopian future, and his clandestine love affair with Julia, a young woman he meets during the course of his work for the government.

Depuis l'ère de l’uniformité. Depuis l’ère de la solitude et de la doublepensée. Depuis l’ère de Big Brother… Moi, Winston Smith. Je vous salue… Nous sommes en 1984 et la vie a radicalement changé.

Il travaille au ministère de la Vérité, où il réécrit l’histoire, mais en secret, il rêve de liberté. Et dans un monde où l’amour et le sexe sont interdits, où il est difficile de savoir qui est un ami ou un ennemi, il rencontre Julia et O’Brien et jure de se rebeller.

È il 1984, e la vita è cambiata al punto da essere irriconoscibile.

Impiegato agli archivi del Ministero della Verità, dove revisiona la storia per adattarla alla narrativa del Partito, Winston coltiva in segreto il sogno della libertà.

Pubblicato nel 1949, il libro offre la visione da incubo del satirista politico George Orwell di un mondo totalitario e burocratico e il tentativo di un povero uomo di trovare l'individualità. Il genio del romanzo è la presenza di Orwell nella vita moderna - l'ubiquità della televisione, la distorsione del linguaggio - e la sua capacità di costruire una versione così completa dell'inferno. Lettura obbligatoria per gli studenti da quando è stata pubblicata, si colloca tra i romanzi più terrificanti mai scritti.
