1984 by George Orwell

Nineteen Eighty-four, by English author George Orwell, depicts a state where daring to think differently is rewarded with torture, where people are monitored every second of the day, and where party propaganda ‘trumps’ free speech.

The novel offers a sobering reminder of the evils of unaccountable governments.

The main protagonist, Winston, is the symbol of the values of civilized life, and his story is a poignant reminder of the vulnerability of such values in the midst of all-powerful states.
