About this product

Product Information

Written more than 70 years ago, 1984 was George Orwell's chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever... - Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read - " The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. " Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can't escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching... A startling and haunting novel, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions--a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

    The Book of the State

    This book is a spine-chillingly accurate depiction of what living in a totalitarian state where everything you do is watched. Free thought is almost nonexistent as language has been progressively simplified down to only the most basic and uneducated terms so that people no longer have the words to exchange ideas. Relics of the once free past still exist but none survive who remember what they were for or even are, the government falsifies wars and transgressions done by enemies who were allies only a few years before, yet to remember even that is blasphemy against the state. Human nature itself is crushed down to but a few tiny fragments of desires, as no one is encouraged to love or build a family except to either indulge in momentary pleasure or to produce more workers for the ...

    Good enough condition

    The book is in Good condition. It is very readable. The only problem is with all the junk offers that are included in the package. It is more paper and plastic waste that I, and anyone living on the same planet have to deal with. If I knew of this I would have been happy enough with the digital copy I already own.

    A Political prophecy of Sorts

    Uncanny book!! Orwell must have had a crystal ball when he pinned this book. Looking back, he was right on target with his information. Since I have lived through that time and have had a first hand look at a lot of the things he spoke about, I am startled at his being able to predict with such accuracy, the world's current condition. It is a MUST book to read.

    Cover can be different

    Was wanting a 1984 with a cool cover to use for a book exchange. I didn't read all of the description which is my fault but the book that came had a different cover that was underwhelming compared to the picture. That was disappointing but again my fault. Otherwise it is a great read, nicely packaged, as described

    Awesom book if you love true freedom!! For both Democrats and Republicans

    Well the 1984 book is compelling. It makes you wonder was there some master plan in place 40-60 years ago. George Orwell almost predicts the future in his book and you learn to realize that freedom is very fragile. Highly recommend!!
