A deluxe 75th anniversary edition of the most iconic British novel of the twentieth century, with an introduction by Sandra Newman, author of Julia and exclusive archival material

George Orwell's dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative has never been more essential reading. Winston Smith obeys the Party, rewriting history at the Ministry of Truth. But increasingly, Winston grows to hate the persecution of those who commit Thoughtcrime. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can't escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching... This 75th anniversary edition contains reproduced facsimile pages from Orwell's original manuscript, and a new introduction by Sandra Newman, author of the Sunday Times bestselling Julia.
