📖 "The greatest British novel to have been written since the war." – Time Out
📖 "The book of the twentieth century . . . haunts us with an ever-darker relevance." – Independent
In a world reshaped by war and revolution, Great Britain—now Airstrip One—is controlled by The Party and its omnipresent leader, Big Brother. Surveillance is absolute, history is rewritten, and independent thought is a crime.
Winston Smith, a worker at The Ministry of Truth, secretly dreams of rebellion. When he meets Julia, their forbidden love sparks a dangerous defiance against the oppressive regime. But in Orwell’s terrifying vision of the future, no secret can stay hidden, and the cost of freedom is unimaginable.
This Jura Edition features a new introduction by Alex Massie, exploring the remote Scottish island where Orwell completed his final and most enduring masterpiece. More relevant than ever, 1984 remains essential reading for understanding power, control, and the fight for truth.
