Sinossi
Il nuovo look del famoso artista urbano Shepard Fairey per il classico racconto distopico di Orwell Uno dei romanzi più popolari della Gran Bretagna, Nineteen Eighty-Four di George Orwell è ambientato in una società terrorizzata da un'ideologia totalitaria propagata dal Partito. Winston Smith lavora per il Ministero della Verità a Londra, capoluogo di Airstrip One. Il Grande Fratello osserva da ogni manifesto, la Polizia del Pensiero scopre ogni atto di tradimento. Quando Winston trova l'amore con Julia, scopre che la vita non deve essere noiosa e deprimente, e si risveglia a nuove possibilità. Nonostante gli elicotteri della polizia che volteggiano e volteggiano sopra le loro teste, Winston e Julia iniziano a mettere in discussione il Partito; sono attratti dalla cospirazione. Eppure il Grande Fratello non tollera il dissenso, nemmeno nella mente. Per coloro che hanno pensieri originali hanno inventato la Stanza 101. Nineteen Eighty-Four è la terrificante visione di George Orwell di un futuro totalitario in cui tutto e tutti sono schiavi di un regime tirannico. Il romanzo ha anche coniato molte nuove parole e frasi che compaiono regolarmente nella cultura popolare, come 'Grande Fratello', 'psicoreato', 'bipensiero' e 'neolingua'.

Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia.

Renowned urban artist Shepard Fairey's new look for Orwell's classic dystopian tale
One of Britain's most popular novels, George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is set in a society terrorised by a totalitarian ideology propagated by The Party.
Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth in London, chief city of Airstrip One. Big Brother stares out from every poster, the Thought Police uncover every act of betrayal. When Winston finds love with Julia, he discovers that life does not have to be dull and deadening, and awakens to new possibilities. Despite the police helicopters that hover and circle overhead, Winston and Julia begin to question the Party; they are drawn towards conspiracy. Yet Big Brother will not tolerate dissent - even in the mind. For those with original thoughts they invented Room 101. . .
Nineteen Eighty-Four is George Orwell's terrifying vision of a totalitarian future in which everything and everyone is slave to a tyrannical regime. The novel also coined many new words and phrases which regular appear in popular culture, such as 'Big Brother', 'thoughtcrime', 'doublethink' and 'Newspeak'.

Soft cover. Condizione: Good. 1984 by George Orwell The Thought Police, Doublethink, Newspeak, Big Brother - 1984 itself: these terms and concepts have moved from the world of fiction into our everyday lives. They are central to our thinking about freedom and its suppression; yet they were newly created by George Orwell in 1949 as he conjured his dystopian vision of a world where totalitarian power is absolute. In this novel, continuously popular since its first publication, readers can explore the dark and extraordinary world he brought so fully to life. The principal characters who lead us through that world are ordinary human beings like ourselves: Winston Smith and Julia, whose falling in love is also an act of rebellion against the Party. Opposing them are the massed powers of the state, which watches its citizens on all sides through technology now only too familiar to us. No-one is free from surveillance; the past is constantly altered, so that there is no truth except the most recent version; and Big Brother, both loved and feared, controls all. Even the simple act of keeping a diary - as Winston does - is punishable by death. In Winston's battle to keep his freedom of thought, he has a powerful adversary in O'Brien, who uses fear and pain to enter his very thought processes. Does 2+2 = 4? Or is it 5? We find out in Room 101. Nineteen Eighty-Four was Orwell's last novel; but the world he created is always with us, as successive generations of readers find within it a mirror for their own times and a warning for the future.
