Nineteen Eighty-Four
BookBench
The famous dystopian novel from George Orwell is a must-see on the BookBenches trail. One of the most influential books in our time, Orwell made chilling prophecies of a future come and gone. The novel is so well known that many made-up expressions from the book regularly appear in our daily communication, most obviously “Big Brother”. In George Orwell’s
Nineteen Eighty-Four, Winston Smith wrestles with oppression in Oceania, a place where the Party scrutinises human actions with ever-watchful Big Brother. Defying a ban on individuality, Winston dares to express his thoughts. These criminal deeds bring Winston into the eye of the opposition, who then must reform the nonconformist.
