George Orwell’s 1984 takes on new life with extraordinary
relevance and renewed popularity. In 1984, London is a grim city
in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always
watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your
mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple
reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden
love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret
revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to
the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia,
he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that
be. Though the year 1984 now exists in the past, Orwell’s novel
remains an urgent call for the individual willing to speak truth
to power.
Characters: 20. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
