1984

“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” — George Orwell In a world where independent thought is a crime, Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Party. Under the unblinking gaze of Big Brother, every citizen is watched, every word is recorded, and truth is whatever the state says it is. But inside Winston, a dangerous memory of a free past still lingers. Driven by a desperate need for connection and reality, he begins a secret diary and enters a forbidden love affair—acts of rebellion that will lead him into the heart of the Party’s terrifying machinery. A masterpiece of political foresight, 1984 is a harrowing exploration of the fragility of freedom and the power of the human spirit to resist, even when all hope seems lost.
