Chiltern Classics: 1984

Winston Smith is a tiny cog in the Party machine, rewriting history at the Ministry of Truth. He harbours rebellious ideas, but under an oppressive system where facts, language, relationships – even thoughts – are strictly controlled, Winston is playing a dangerous game. Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece is a searing attack on totalitarianism, a nightmare vision where the dreaded Room 101 awaits dissidents, and where Big Brother is always watching.
