George
Orwell- Nineteen
Eighty-Four
1984
Short
Review:
1984
was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come
and gone, Orwell’s narrative is timelier than ever. 1984 presents a
startling and haunting vision of the world,
so powerful that it is completely
convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the power 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.
Nineteen
Eighty-Four, often published as 1984, is a dystopian novel by English author
George Orwell published in 1949. The novel is set in Airstrip One (formerly
known as Great Britain), a province of the superstate Oceania in a world of
perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance and public manipulation,
dictated by a political system euphemistically named English Socialism (or
Ingsoc in the government's invented language, Newspeak) under the control of a
privileged elite of the Inner Party, that persecutes individualism and
independent thinking as "thoughtcrime.
