1984 by George Orwell - used book
This modern classic is now even more relevant - “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command…”
Published in 1949, and written while Orwell was seriously ill with tuberculosis, 1984 is perhaps Orwell’s most famous work. The story of Winston Smith, who rewrites Times editorials at the Ministry of Truth to suit the Party’s version of events, 1984 introduced ‘Big Brother’, ‘thought police’, ‘Room 101’, ‘doublethink’ and ‘newspeak’ to the English language. A satire on totalitarianism, 1984 is a testament to the potential power of modern political systems, and the dark side of human nature: as O’Brien tells Winston, ‘the object of power is power’.
Please note that while I try to maintain a flat rate for Australia-wide postage, large packages may incur a surcharge for postage, which would be invoiced upon confirmation of cost of total postage.
