    based on 『1984』


    About the Book

    『1984』 by George Orwell, published in 1949, is a seminal dystopian novel that explores the dangers of totalitarianism and the suppression of individual freedoms. Set in the oppressive state of Oceania, the novel follows Winston Smith, a man who begins to question the Party’s absolute control over truth, history, and even thoughts. As he navigates the rigid and merciless system governed by Big Brother, he becomes entangled in a futile struggle against an omnipresent regime. Orwell introduces critical concepts such as Newspeak, a language designed to limit free thought, and Doublethink, the ability to hold contradictory beliefs simultaneously, illustrating the Party’s manipulation of reality. The novel remains a chilling prophecy of surveillance, censorship, and the abuse of power, making it as relevant today as it was upon its release.

Born in colonial India and educated in England, he later served as a colonial police officer in Burma but grew disillusioned with imperialism. Orwell’s experiences with poverty, war, and political ideologies shaped his writing. While sympathetic to socialism, he was wary of authoritarian tendencies, a theme evident in his works. His lucid prose, political foresight, and commitment to truth continue to resonate today.
