Orwell, George

Nineteen eighty-four 1984 - Berlin : Cornelsen, c2021. - 343 p. 19/13/2 cm Taschenbuch

Nineteen eighty-four has become a catchphrase for an omnipotent state which, through propaganda, surveillance and oppression, exerts total control over people's thoughts and actions, their memory, and even 'truth'itself. Yet, the novel also tells of the rebellion of two lovers who want to think and live freely. As a warning against the dangers of totalitarianism, George Orwell's classic dystopia has lost none of its power. In the face of rampant fantasies of technological omnipotence and worldwide threats to democracy, it is as relevant as ever.
