Synopsis
It is difficult to think of a book which has had a greater impact on 20th-century culture and language than Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" - it introduced phrases such as Big Brother, Newspeak, and Thought Police, - which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 1999. This edition is illustrated.

"Matchlessly sharp and fresh . . . The clearest and most compelling English prose style this century" (John Carey Sunday Times)

"The great moral force of his age . . . It is impossible not to be elated by his literary and political writing . . . the most lovable of writers, someone whose books can make the reader long for his company" (Spectator)
