1984

The year 1984 has come and gone, and George Orewll's prophetic, nightmare vision of the world we are becoming is timelier than ever. A vivid and frightening portrayal of a society that has lost every trace of individuality, of love, and of critical thought, 1984 becomes a powerful warning about the future of human freedom. The great modern classic of "Negative Utopia," Orewll's highly symbolic and startlingly original novel creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words. --back cover
