Beskrivelse

Nineteen Eighty-Four is set in a totalitarian state called Oceania, where the Party, led by the mysterious Big Brother, exercises absolute control over every aspect of life. Through constant surveillance, propaganda, and the suppression of free thought, the Party enforces its ideology of "Ingsoc" and rewrites history to suit its narrative. The story follows Winston Smith, a member of the Outer Party who works at the Ministry of Truth, altering historical records to align with the Party's ever-changing reality. Secretly disillusioned and longing for rebellion, Winston begins an illicit affair with Julia and explores forbidden ideas.



Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell is a landmark work of dystopian fiction that critiques totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and the manipulation of truth. Inspired by Stalinist Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, Orwell's novel introduced terms like "Big Brother," "doublethink," and "Thought Police" into popular culture. The novel's impact on political discourse is reflected in the term "Orwellian," which describes oppressive governmental practices. Widely acclaimed, Nineteen Eighty-Four remains a profound exploration of power and control.



This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
