Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry if Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thought-crimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can't escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...
A startling and hauntingnovel, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions -- a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.
