George Orwell's masterwork, now in the Penguin Clothbound Classics series with a cover designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith
One of the BBC's '100 Novels that Shaped the World'
'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 all-seeing 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 fellow-worker Julia, but soon discovers the true price of freedom is betrayal.
George Orwell's dystopian masterpiece, Nineteen Eighty-Four is perhaps the most pervasively influential book of the twentieth century.

George Orwell's '1984' is a haunting and prophetic masterpiece that remains chillingly relevant. The dystopian world he creates is a stark warning about the dangers of totalitarianism and government surveillance. The story of Winston Smith and his struggle for individuality in a society that crushes dissent is both gripping and thought-provoking. Orwell's writing is sharp, his ideas profound, and '1984' is a must-read for anyone concerned about the erosion of personal freedoms and the power of the state.
