Description

The year 1984 is finally upon us, and George Orwell's prophetic, nightmare vision in 1984 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still the great modern classic of "Negative Utopia" - a startling original and powerful novel that creates and imaginary world that is completely convincing from the first sentence to the last four words.

"Seldom has a books provided a greater wealth of symbols for its age and for the generations to follow, and seldom have literary symbols been invested with so much power.

"None can deny its power, its hold on the imaginations of whole generations, nor the power of its admonitions, a power that seems to grow rather than lessen with the passage of time... 1984 may not arrive on time, but there's always 1985."
