Reimagined for a new generation with stunning artwork by renowned street artist Shepard Fairey, this is the perfect edition of George Orwell’s classic dystopian novel for any enthusiast’s collection. First published in 1949, 1984 remains a terrifying vision of a totalitarian future in which every individual is enslaved to a tyrannical regime. Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth in London, chief city of Airstrip One. Big Brother stares out from every poster, the Thought Police uncover every act of betrayal, and for those who dare to think for themselves, Room 101 awaits. When Winston falls in love with Julia, he awakens to new possibilities — that life need not be dull and deadening, that the Party can be questioned, even resisted. Yet Big Brother will not tolerate dissent, even in the mind. ‘More relevant to today than almost any other book that you can think of’ Jo Brand. ‘Right up there among my favourite books . . . I read it again and again’ Margaret Atwood. COMPLETE THE TRIO WITH SHEPARD FAIREY’S NEW-LOOK ANIMAL FARM AND DOWN AND OUT IN PARIS AND LONDON.
