1984: 75th Anniversary
1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmare vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. "1984" is still the great modern classic "negative Utopia" - a startling original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny this novel's power, its hold on the imagination of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions - a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

George Orwell's "1984" is a chilling dystopian novel that explores the terrifying consequences of totalitarianism and extreme political ideology. Set in a world where the Party controls every aspect of life, including thoughts, the protagonist Winston Smith grapples with his growing sense of rebellion. Orwell's stark and haunting prose serves as a powerful warning about the dangers of unchecked government power and the erosion of individual freedoms. This book remains incredibly relevant and thought-provoking.
