Synopsis "1984"

""Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."" 1984 revolves around the concept of omnipresent government surveillance, where Big Brother controls the society in the super-state, Oceania.Every aspect of life is closely monitored, every trace of privacy is rubbed off and the slightest hint of personal freedom or rebellion is ruthlessly quashed by the 'thought police'. Amidst these, a minor party official, Winston commits thought crimes', follows his instincts, and lands in the most dreadful Room 101 where resides every man's ultimate horror! The novel takes the readers to a world where "the object of torture is torture. The object of power is power".
George Orwell

View Author's Page
Eric Arthur Blair (Motihari, British Raj, June 25, 1903-London, United Kingdom, January 21, 1950), known by his pen name George Orwell, was a British novelist, journalist, essayist, and critic born in India, author among other works of the dystopian novels Animal Farm (1945) and 1984 (1949)

His work bears the mark of autobiographical experiences lived by the author in three stages of his life: his position against British imperialism which led him to commit as a representative of the colonial law enforcement forces in Burma during his youth; in favor of democratic socialism, after having observed and suffered the living conditions of the working social classes in London and Paris; and against Nazi and Stalinist totalitarianisms after his participation in the Spanish Civil War, on the Republican side

In addition to being a chronicler, literary critic, and novelist, he is one of the most prominent essayists in the English language of the 1930s and 1940s. He is also known for his criticisms of totalitarianism in his allegorical short novel Animal Farm (1945) and his dystopian novel 1984 (1949), written in his last years of life and published shortly before his death, in which he creates the concept of "Big Brother," which has since entered the common language of criticism of modern surveillance techniques.

Book arrived promptly and in perfect condition. I read this 20 years ago, but wanted to read it again as so much of it is now possible and very probably being used clandestinely.
