For you have to have experienced the horror and the terror, before you can appreciate the beauty and fullness of life.
A cross between a political thriller and a love story, 1984 is one of those rare books that will touch your deepest desires and fears - love and torture; loyalty and betrayal; hope and despair.

This classic novel is a raw and haunting allegory of oppressor and oppressed, set against the backdrop of a regime ruled by the iron fist of Big Brother, the all-powerfull, all-knowing and ruthless Party leader, whose gigantic image looms everywhere, and whose spies can pry into even the most intimate secrets of one's private life.
There is no escaping: 'Big Brother is watching you.'
