1984

Post by Florinda »

George Orwell's famous novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, written in 1949, is set in an imaginary state of the future where freedom of thought and action have utterly disappeared. Humans are under the constant scrutiny of the government, symbolized by Big Brother, whose posters everywhere warn that "Big Brother is Watching You." Children are taken from their parents and love relationships are strictly forbidden. The story centers on one couple's escape attempt and ultimate defeat at the hands of the secret police.
