Description

Part of the Chiltern Classics series

Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell

Winston Smith is a tiny cog in the Party machine, rewriting history at the Ministry of Truth. He harbours rebellious ideas, but under an oppressive system where facts, language, relationships – even thoughts – are strictly controlled, Winston is playing a dangerous game. Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece is a searing attack on totalitarianism, a nightmare vision where the dreaded Room 101 awaits dissidents, and where Big Brother is always watching.

Author

Eric Arthur Blair, known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. As a writer, Orwell produced literary criticism and poetry, fiction and polemical journalism; and is best known for the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945) and the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). His non-fiction works, including The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), documenting his experience of working-class life in the north of England, and Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his experiences soldiering for the Republican faction of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), are as critically respected as his essays on politics and literature, language and culture. In 2008, The Times ranked George Orwell second among "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".
