1984

"War is peace!" they thunder, shaming love and fostering hatred. "Freedom is slavery!" they crackle, watching every move from the screens. "Ignorance is strength!" they trumpet, day in and day out rewriting history. "Down with Big Brother," Winston writes, lacking the courage to say the words aloud. He is boxed in by the System and begins to feel its pressure. The flame of his discontent flares up. Winston gradually straightens his shoulders and tries to break free. He finds love amid omnipresent hatred and hides from the tireless eyes in his little refuge - a fragment of the surviving past, which he might be the only one to remember. But no one can hide from the gaze of Big Brother. And for disobedience, he punishes with a life that is much worse than death.
