Description
Ninteen Eighty-Four revealed George Orwell as one of twentieth century's greatest mythmakers. While the totalitarian system that provoked him into writing him has passed into oblivion, his harrowing cautionary tale of a man trapped in a political nightmare has the opposite fate: its relevancy and power to disturb our complacency seem to grow decade by decade. In Winston Smith's desperate struggle to free himself from an all-encompassing, malevolent state, Orwell zeroed in on tendencies apparent in every modern society, and made vivid the universal predicament of the individual.
