Overview

Written in 1948, 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 vision of the world, 1984 is so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the influence of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions--a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time.

Includes a foreword by Thomas Pynchon

  • Important read

    Meghan Z. - 6 years ago

    An important read for everyone about the horrors of a dystopian society. Terrifying ending that will stay with you. #BannedBook

  • The Importance of the message cannot be overstated.

    Kayla B. - 6 years ago

    I recently re-read Nineteen Eighty-Four and unfortunately, it resonated more than it ever has before. Orwell wrote the book in 1949 as a warning against Soviet Russia, but I was struck by how eerily similar some of the details were to some of the things we are seeing happen today. This book is an absolute must-read, no matter which side of the aisle you happen to be on. #BannedBook

  • Nineteen Eighty-Four or 2016?

    John L. - 6 years ago

    Always knew this was a GREAT book. But I never knew it was prophetic until 2016. An incredible read! #BannedBook
