Beschreibung

Iconic bold capitalized titles, red bordered cover design, moderate shelf wear. Pages very good. Bind very good, intact. Striking cover portait of Orwell in pastel and charcol by R.B. Kitaj with classic political illustrations throughout piece. Vintage postage label at cover: "Mr. M. J. Horton. Los Angeles." Uniquely prescient feature article on dystopian and instrusive society. Presented here is the periodical published November 28, 1983 before the new year of 1984 arrived. Offers a revealing time capsule of insights w/cover story of George Orwell and his pivotal novel. Paul Gray, senior writer, explores Orwell's ominous novel of prognostication, Nineteen Eighty-Four (Big Brother Is Watching You), which made the coming year a legend before its time. But, Gray writes, Orwell had more to say about the present tense than about the future imperfect. In the Nation: Congress adjourns w/o tackling the federal deficit; the shuttle carrying Spacelab roars of the pad taking a giant step for science; and, the Vatican takes a hard look at the US Roman Catholic Church and checks up on Seattle's liberal Archbishop. In the World: the first US cruise missiles arrive in Europe and Soviets threaten to walk out of Geneva; Arafat hangs on while Israeli and French warplanes seek vengeance; and, Grenadians show discomfort over US presence on their island; and, Cyprus declares independence. Rare material, stories, advertisements. Insured post. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 020465
