This striking hardback edition presents George Orwell’s foundational tale of dystopian fiction, 1984, featuring silver cover embossing and gilded page-edges.

Under the watchful eyes of Big Brother, the people of Oceania must submit totally to their government and suppress all expressions of individuality. Telescreens are everywhere, helicopters hover around buildings, and the Thought Police are constantly on alert. Despite the threat of severe punishment, diligent desk clerk Winston Smith sits down to write a diary which begins his quiet resistance against the regime.

Arguably the twentieth century’s most famous novel, 1984 is a dystopian study of political tyranny, mind control, paranoia, and secret mass surveillance, which continues to resonate to this day.

This beautiful pocket-sized gift edition contains the classic, unabridged text, presented with an embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers, and silver gilded page edges. Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series, this book makes a wonderful gift for any lover of classic literature.
