Nineteen Eighty-Four

Meer over het boek

Set in a chilling dystopian future, the narrative follows Winston Smith, a party member under the oppressive surveillance of Big Brother. The society employs 'Newspeak' to eliminate political discourse, while 'Thoughtcrimes' punish any dissenting thoughts. The ominous threat of 'Room 101' serves as a stark reminder of the regime's brutal control. Through this exploration, Orwell delves into the mechanics of totalitarianism, illustrating how state manipulation of mass media governs every facet of life, shaping both history and individual thought.
