Preface

1984 by George Orwell features on nearly every ‘Books to Read Before You Die’ list that I have ever seen, and for good reason.

Winston Smith is an employee in the Ministry of Truth in London. Every aspect of his life is dominated by fear of those in charge and when Big Brother is watching you at every moment he is afraid for good reason.

Then Winston falls in love with Julia and begins to question everything and to believe they can beat the system after all.
