Product Description

Product Description

In "Nineteen eighty-four", one of the 20th century's great myth-makers takes a cold look at the future. Orwell's study of individual struggling - or not struggling - against totalitarianism remains a salutary lesson in any society.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deviates corrected for their own good, 17 April 2006
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
In a society that has eliminated many imbalances, surplus goods, and even class struggle, there are bound to be deviates; Winston Smith is one of those. He starts out, due to his inability to doublethink, with thoughtcrime. This is in a society that believes a thought is as real as the deed. Eventually he graduates through a series of misdemeanors to illicit sex and even plans to overthrow the very government that took him in as an orphan.
If he gets caught, he will be sent to the "Ministry of Love" where they have a record of 100% cures for this sort of insanity. They will even forgive his past indiscretions.

Be sure to watch the three different movies made from this book:
1984 (1954) Peter Cushing is Winston Smith
1984 (1956) Edmond O'Brien is Winston Smith
Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) John Hurt is Winston smith

5.0 out of 5 stars Chilling Masterpiece, 16 April 2006
By GeeJayBee (Cardiff) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Orwell's masterpiece on the crushing of the individual within an all-powerful state machine. This is strangely romantic and uplifting while at the same time almost irredeemably bleak. This books asks and answers the questions :-
When the state controls every aspect of your external life, can you have an internal life and how long can you live this internal life beyond state control? The answer is only until the state gets inside your head and destroys that life as well. Not an optimistic outlook.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best books I have ever read
When you start reading you just can not stop. It is the most interesting, meaningful and romantic book ever!

4.0 out of 5 stars Disturbingly Excellent
This book is amazing. Orwell's language, and use of everyday humour, along with his use of disturbing imagery makes this 1949 look at what is essentially now frighteningly... Read more
