About the book

George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four follows Winston Smith, a minor Party official living under an authoritarian regime that monitors thought, language and personal behaviour. Winston begins secretly questioning the system and pursuing a forbidden relationship with Julia. The novel explores surveillance, censorship, propaganda and the terrifying possibility of political power controlling reality itself. George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is set in a totalitarian society in which the state controls language, history and even private thought. The story follows Winston Smith, a man who works for the government rewriting historical records so that the past always agrees with the Party's version of events.
