NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR by George Orwell

“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.” ― George Orwell, 1984

NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR revealed George Orwell as one of the twentieth century’s greatest mythmakers. While the totalitarian system that provoked him into writing it has since passed into oblivion, his harrowing cautionary tale of a man trapped in a political nightmare has had the opposite fate: its relevance and power to disturb our complacency seem to grow decade by decade.

The Party told you to reject all evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. -- George Orwell, 1984

Man is the only real enemy we have.

Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever." --from ANIMAL FARM (1945) by George Orwell

ANIMAL FARM is the most famous by far of all twentieth-century political allegories. Its account of a group of barnyard animals who revolt against their vicious human master, only to submit to a tyranny erected by their own kind, can fairly be said to have become a universal drama. Orwell is one of the very few modern satirists comparable to Jonathan Swift in power, artistry, and moral authority; in animal farm his spare prose and the logic of his dark comedy brilliantly highlight his stark message. Taking as his starting point the betrayed promise of the Russian Revolution, Orwell lays out a vision that, in its bitter wisdom, gives us the clearest understanding we possess of the possible consequences of our social and political acts.
