Nineteen Eighty-Four 1984
Author(s): George Orwell
As he lay dying, George Orwell summoned his publisher Fred Warburg to his bedside. No longer capable of holding a pen, the writer dictated a message to the public about the world of his new novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. 'Don?t let it happen,? he concluded. 'It depends on you.?In an age of inescapable surveillance, fake news, alternative facts, would-be Big Brothers and endless low-level wars, Orwell?s warning still speaks to us today, and with greater force than ever before.Republished with a new introduction by Dennis Glover, author of The Last Man in Europe, Orwell?s prophetic masterpiece is truly a story for our times. Orwell?s courage and his refusal to be silenced inspire hope that, ultimately, the spirit of humanity will win through.
Product Information
“Like many people, I first read this in high school, one of the few novels I felt truly engaged with. One of a short list of books that have changed my life, 1984 gives me both hope, and a gimlet eye with which to view the world I live in.” - Adam (staff)
