Winston Smith works in the Ministry of Truth - or Minitrue as it is called in Newspeak - altering newspapers and reports to follow the arbitrary dictates of Big Brother’s propaganda.

The story takes place in an imagined future, the year 1984 when much of the world has fallen victim to perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and propaganda. Great Britain, known as Airstrip One, has become a province of a totalitarian superstate named Oceania that is ruled by the Party who employs the Thought Police to persecute individuality and independent thinking. Big Brother, the leader of the Party, enjoys an intense cult of personality despite the fact that he may not even exist.

Published in 1948, this cautionary tale follows a lone protagonist who struggles under the rule of a repressive totalitarian government. Set in a future version of England, called Airstrip One, the novel is famous for its imagined language that conjures a cruelly cynical authoritarian regime. One of the most popular novels in the English language, it is part political thriller and part science fiction, and it established the word Orwellian to describe official deception, unwarranted surveillance, and revisionist history by the state.

George Orwell’s 1984 brings renewed clarity to a world defined by surveillance, manipulation, and the suffocation of individuality. In this unforgettable vision of the future, citizens live under constant watch. Truth is no longer a shared foundation—it is whatever the Party declares it to be.

Pubblicato nel 1949, il libro offre la visione da incubo del satirista politico George Orwell di un mondo totalitario e burocratico e il tentativo di un povero uomo di trovare l'individualità. Il genio del romanzo è la presenza di Orwell nella vita moderna - l'ubiquità della televisione, la distorsione del linguaggio - e la sua capacità di costruire una versione così completa dell'inferno. Lettura obbligatoria per gli studenti da quando è stata pubblicata, si colloca tra i romanzi più terrificanti mai scritti.
