ABOUT- Originally published on June 8, 1949, George Orwell s 1984 is a dystopian masterpiece of tremendous influence and enduring relevance. Orwell s nightmare vision for 1984 is of a totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and the Thought Police, which persecute independent thinking. Orwell s world is one in which the news is manufactured by the authorities, no one is free, and individuality is obsolete. 1984 was the ninth and final book George Orwell completed in his lifetime. Parallels have been drawn between its subject matter and real-life instances of totalitarianism, communism, mass surveillance, and violations of freedom of expression. The novel uses several terms that have entered common usage in the English language including Big Brother, doublethink and thoughtcrime. American literary critic Lionel Trilling said of Orwell s classic, 1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. It is a fantasy of the political future, and like any such fantasy, serves its author as a magnifying device for an examination of the present. The novel has been included in Time magazine s 100 Best English-Language Novels, the Modern Library s 100 Best Novels, and on the BBC s list of the 100 Most Influential Novels. On January 25, 2017, the book broke new ground when it suddenly appeared at the #1 spot on Amazon s bestseller list, an unheard-of occurrence for a book published 68 years prior. Though the year 1984 now exists in the past, Orwell s novel remains an urgent call to become aware of the assaults on our personal freedoms, and to defend humankind s most precious right: the freedom to have our own thoughts. George Orwell Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 21 January 1950), known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. His work is characterised by lucid prose, biting social criticism, opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism. As a writer, Orwell produced literary criticism and poetry, fiction and polemical journalism. He is known for the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945) and the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). His non-fiction works, including The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), documenting his experience of working-class life in the north of England, and Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his experiences soldiering for the Republican faction of the Spanish Civil War (1936 1939), are as critically respected as his essays on politics and literature, language and culture. In 2008, The Times ranked George Orwell second among "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945". Orwell's work remains influential in popular culture and in political culture, and the adjective "Orwellian" describing totalitarian and authoritarian social practices is part of the English language, like many of his neologisms, such as "Big Brother", "Thought Police", "Two Minutes Hate", "Room 101", "memory hole", "Newspeak", "doublethink", "unperson", and "thoughtcrime", as well as providing direct inspiration for the neologism "groupthink".

Paris, Gallimard, coll. "La Méridienne", (mai) 1950. 1 vol. (130 x 190 mm) de 374 p. et [1] f. Broché, sous emboîtage à décor signé de Julie Nadot. Édition originale de la traduction française. Un des 34 premiers sur vélin pur fil (un des 3 exemplaires de tête hors commerce, le C). On ne présente plus 1984 de George Orwell : un mythe qui dépasse la simple littérature, dépeint un monde de contrôle permanent, où la langue est le lieu du conditionnement. On y suit l'histoire de Winston Smith, dans un Londres placé dans l'univers dystopique de l'Oceania. « Novlangue », « police de la pensée », « Big Brother » : les concepts clés de 1984 sont devenus des références essentielles pour comprendre les ressorts totalitaires des sociétés contemporaines. Dans un monde où la télésurveillance s'est généralisée et où le numérique a donné un élan sans précédent au pouvoir des grandes entreprises et à l'arbitraire des États, 1984 est devenu le symbole des dangers qu'il dénonce. Le chef-d'oeuvre d'Orwell. Très bel et rare exemplaire broché, conservé dans un magnifique coffret à décor de Julie Nadot.
