«Nineteen Eighty-Four» is George Orwell's dystopian novel, published by Penguin UK in paperback (256 pages, in English).
In Oceania, a totalitarian state watched over by Big Brother, Winston Smith works at the Ministry of Truth rewriting history to suit the Party. His rebellion begins when he writes a clandestine diary and continues with his relationship with Julia, in a world where the Thought Police pursue any dissent and language itself is manipulated.
The novel popularised terms such as «Big Brother», «thoughtcrime», «doublethink» and «Newspeak», which are still used in current political debate.
Frequent reading in schools and universities and one of the reference novels for understanding totalitarianism and state surveillance.
