George Orwell could be experienced in this book depicting a totalitarian, gray world that was dominated by Big Brother and also its huge network of agents. Those included the Thought Police as well. It was a world in which news was produced as per the will of the authorities and the people lived warmish lives by routine.
Winston Smith was a hero who had no heroic qualities at all. He longed for decency and truth always. But living in a society that had no concept of privacy and where unorthodox ideas were put to death, he knew very well that there was absolutely no hope at all for him.
The year 1984 came and went, yet the nightmare vision of the author, George Orwell about the world in 1949 still stands as a phenomenal modern classic. The story of 1984 is quite frightening and at the same time, it is incredibly relevant and profound as well. The great performance of Simon Prebble brought this story of George Orwell to life with jaw-dropping and pitch-perfect excellence.
