This new centennial edition is the masterpiece of rebellion and imprisonment, where war is peace, freedom is slavery, and Big Brother is watching.
Includes a foreword by Thomas Pynchon.
No one can deny the influence of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions--a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time.
A startling and haunting vision of the world, 1984 is so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish.
But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can\'t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...
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.
Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth.
It was their final, most essential command. -Nominated as one of America\'s best-loved novels by PBS\'s The Great American Read - The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...
Written 70 years ago, 1984 was George Orwell\'s chilling prophecy about the future.
