George Orwell is one of the most widely read authors in the world and a very controversial figure of his time. He was born in Bengal, studied at Eton, worked in police, radio, and a second-hand bookshop, fought in Spain,...
and wrote books. A fierce opponent of communism and a defender of democratic socialism, Orwell staged a rebellion against the society he so desired but felt completely alien to. What will happen if ideas of fascism and dictatorship spread among the ruling circles? What will the social order be like if power demands unwavering obedience? What kind of catastrophe will such a regime lead to? In the state of Oceania, citizens have no rights, meaning the power of the party is absolute. The everyday life of the heroes is filled with fear and constant upheavals. Here, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of choice, freedom of love, and even freedom of thought are all obliterated. It is impossible to disrupt the order, for Big Brother is watching you. The horrors of the state machine's crimes were captured by George Orwell in his main work - "1984." This cautionary tale about the dangers of totalitarianism has become one of the most famous dystopias of the 20th century, standing alongside "We" by Zamyatin, "Brave New World" by Huxley, and "Fahrenheit 451" by Bradbury. The iconic dystopia of the 20th century and the main work of George Orwell will take on new colors thanks to the illustrations by artist Vadim Beloborodov, created specifically for this edition. The book layout organically supports the illustrations: beautiful, simple, and rigid, just like the novel itself.
