Description: NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR Author: Orwell, George (pseud. of Eric Blair) Title: NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR Publication: New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1949 Edition: First American Edition Description: Orwell's towering work of dystopian fiction, the vocabulary of which has become a part of the fabric of our culture. "The title marks the triumph of the totalitarian state. Three superpowers divide the world and conduct sham wars. Newspeak is official, insidious language used to propagate lies. Big Brother polices you through two-way TV in your quarters. Romance is forbidden, sex is a political act. Personal opinion is neutralized by brainwashing. Life is hell. One of the half-dozen most influential novels of the twentieth century" (Barron, Anatomy of Wonder 3-302). Basis for two notable film adaptations: Michael Anderson's 1956 film starring Edmund O'Brien, and Michael Radford's later picture starring John Hurt and Richard Burton.
