Winston Smith is an average citizen who is of the middle-class in the super-state of Oceania. He lives specifically on Airstrip One, and is an editor for the Ministry of Truth. The problem with Mr. Smith is his loathing of the Party, which lands him in trouble with the authorities. Nineteen Eighty-Four is a political fiction that depicts the horror and dystopian nature of totalitarianism. The novel defines the totalitarian state and all its characteristics: from lies, hypocrisy, and more, and has gained its importance in the relevance of modern politics. The comparison of current regimes has most of all, allowed sharp criticism of those regimes as being ÔOrwellian.Õ The Olkuter Classics edition of this masterpiece includes the original text, edited for an easy read.

About the Author:
Eric Arthur Blair (George Orwell) was born in India in 1903. He was educated at Eton, served with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, and worked in Britain as a private tutor, schoolteacher, bookshop assistant and journalist. In 1936, Orwell went to fight for the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War and was wounded. In 1938 he was admitted into a sanatorium and from then on was never fully fit. George Orwell died in London in 1950.
Review:
'Orwell described the compromised lives we recognize as our own' - Andrew Motion, Observer 'A writer who can -- and must -- be rediscovered with every age' Irish Times
