George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of the most famous and influential novels of the 20th century. This terrifying dystopia, created in a time of great social and political unrest, remains acutely relevant and influential to this day.

The year is 1984. The country is impoverished and permanently at war, people are watched day and night by Big Brother and their every action and thought is controlled by the Thought Police. Winston Smith works in the department of propaganda, where his job is to rewrite the past. Spurred by his longing to escape, Winston rebels.

He breaks the law by falling in love with Julia and, as part of the clandestine organization the Brotherhood, they attempt the unimaginable to bring down the Party.
