Mehr zum Buch

Among the seminal texts of the 20th century, <i>Nineteen Eighty-Four</i> is a rare work that grows more haunting as its futuristic purgatory becomes more real. Published in 1949, the book offers political satirist George Orwell's nightmare vision of a totalitarian, bureaucratic world and one poor stiff's attempt to find individuality. The brilliance of the novel is Orwell's prescience of modern life--the ubiquity of television, the distortion of the language--and his ability to construct such a thorough version of hell. Required reading for students since it was published, it ranks among the most terrifying novels ever written.

Der alte Klassiker,noch immer hochaktuell und gerade in diesen unsicheren Zeiten ein großer,erhobener Zeigefinger!

Ein Klassiker, der in heutiger Zeit wieder mehr und mehr an Aktualität und Relevanz gewinnt.
