George Orwell: 1984 / Nineteen Eighty-Four (English Edition)
BoD – Books on Demand · 2025-06-23
George Orwell’s "1984" (first published in 1949) is a groundbreaking dystopian novel set in a totalitarian society ruled by the oppressive Party and its leader, Big Brother. The story follows Winston Smith, a low-ranking Party member who secretly rebels against the regime’s pervasive surveillance, propaganda, and thought control. Through concepts like Newspeak, doublethink, and the infamous slogan "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength," Orwell explores themes of government overreach, psychological manipulation, and the erosion of truth. "1984" remains a chilling and influential critique of authoritarianism, still widely studied and referenced today. This edition is the English-language paperback version of Orwell's classic novel. George Orwell. 1984. First published:"Nineteen Eighty-Four", Secker and Warburg, London 1949. Neuausgabe, LIWI Literatur- und Wissenschaftsverlag, Göttingen 2025.
