Description
|
|
|
|
The year 1984 has come and gone, but the nightmare society George Orwell prophesied in 1949 remains ever looming, as civil liberties in the real world are curtailed in the name of state security and public opinions are formed based on deliberate misinformation.Orwell's protagonist, a government functionary and future everyman named Winston, attempts to evade the numbing control of the figurehead Big Brother by writing down his own thoughts and entering into an illegal romantic affair. This 60th anniversary edition includes psychologist Erich Fromm's 1961 afterword, which unpacks some of the significant structures of Orwell's dystopia and explores such concepts as "doublethink."
