It is, above all, a way of asserting power.'-The New YorkerIn 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions.

Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be.Lionel Trilling said of Orwell's masterpiece '1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book.
