1984

What will happen if ideas of fascism and dictatorship spread among the ruling circles? What will society be like if the power demands unwavering obedience? What catastrophe will such a regime lead to? In the state of Oceania, citizens have no rights, and thus the party's power is absolute. The everyday life of the heroes takes place in conditions of fear and constant upheaval. Here, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of choice, freedom of love, and even freedom of thought are all erased. It is impossible to disrupt the order, for Big Brother is watching every move. The horrors of the state machine's crimes were captured by George Orwell in his main work – «1984». This cautionary novel 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.
