1984

Editorial review

In a totalitarian superstate ruled by 'The Party,' a low-level functionary named Winston Smith begins a forbidden affair and a private rebellion of memory against an apparatus that controls history, language and perception itself. His attempt to remain inwardly free becomes a study in how regimes do not merely punish dissent but dismantle the very capacity for it.
