1984 (English Edition)

Winston Smith begins a forbidden diary in a world where the state watches every word, thought and desire. This beautiful deluxe gift edition presents Orwell's must-read dystopian novel with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and a silk ribbon. In Airstrip One, Big Brother watches constantly. The Party controls language, history, memory and desire, while the Thought Police hunt even private dissent. Winston Smith works at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting records to fit each new lie. His secret diary and forbidden love for Julia become acts of rebellion, but in this world no hiding place stays safe for long. 1984 is a terrifying classic about surveillance, totalitarianism, propaganda, censorship and the erasure of individuality. This Vintage Collector's Classics edition is a striking gift for readers, collectors and anyone seeking a beautifully bound version of Orwell's essential dystopia. **READERS ARE OBESSED WITH VINTAGE COLLECTOR'S CLASSICS** 'These might be the most beautiful books I've ever seen.
