1984

Orwell, George 1903-1950 (author.). Fromm, Erich 1900-1980 (writer of afterword.).

Summary: "The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still the great modern classic of "negative utopia" -a startlingly 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 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."--back cover. "Winston Smith lives in London, a bleak world plastered with slogans and posters of Big Brother. His every move is monitored by omnipresent telescreens, which also send out an endless babble of propaganda. But Winston is beginning to find ways to escape Big Brother. He dares to have feelings and thoughts of his own."
