The fascinating novel ’1984’ is unrivaled and is both intriguing and complex. From the very beginning the author takes you by the hand and leads you into an unreal destopia - but is it actually unreal?
Winston Smith, a thirty-nine year old man, is trapped in a totalitarian world where propaganda rules. He struggles to find ways to tear down the party. His hope lies in the Proles whom he believes have the key to the past and therefore to the future. But Winston, who has fallen in love with Julia is now a perfect suspect for the thought police and therefore gets arrested and tortured until he is forced to believe in the Party and in its leader, Big Brother.
’1984’ is a marvellous political novel, written to warn of the dangers of a totalitarian government. It is was a great experience for me and I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did. Its title was to indicate in 1949 that the actual story represented a real possibility for the near future.
And so, did the author succeed in imagining today’s society? Read this book and you tell me...
