George Orwell is one of the most widely read authors in the world and a highly controversial figure of his time. Born in Bengal, he attended Eton, worked in the police, radio, and a second-hand bookshop, fought in Spain, and wrote books. A staunch opponent of communism and a champion of democratic socialism, Orwell rebelled against the society he so craved but in which he felt completely alien.
What will happen if the ideas of fascism and dictatorship spread among the ruling circles? What will social order become if the government demands unwavering obedience? What catastrophe will such a regime lead to?
In the state of Oceania, citizens have no rights, meaning the party's power is absolute. The characters' daily lives are lived in a climate of fear and constant upheaval. Here, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of choice, freedom of love, and even freedom of thought are all eradicated. Disruption of order is impossible, because Big Brother watches over everyone.
George Orwell captured the horrors of the state machine's crimes in his magnum opus, 1984. This novel, a warning about the dangers of totalitarianism, became one of the most famous dystopias of the 20th century, ranking alongside Zamyatin's We, Huxley's Brave New World, and Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.
This iconic 20th-century dystopia and George Orwell's magnum opus is brought to life with new illustrations by artist Vadim Beloborodov, created especially for this edition. The book's layout seamlessly supports the illustrations: beautiful, simple, and stark, like the novel itself.
