George Orwell's dystopian masterpiece, Nineteen EightyFour is perhaps the most pervasively influential book of the twentieth century, published with an introduction by Ben Pimlott in Penguin Modern Classics.
'Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past'
Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith skilfully rewrites the past to suit the needs of the Party. Yet he inwardly rebels against the totalitarian world he lives in, which demands absolute obedience and controls him through the allseeing telescreens and the watchful eye of Big Brother, symbolic head of the Party. In his longing for truth and liberty, Smith begins a secret love affair with a fellowworker Julia, but soon discovers the true price of freedom is betrayal.
If you enjoyed Nineteen EightyFour, you might like Orwell's Animal Farm, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
