From the author of Animal Farm comes the book that coined the terms “Big Brother”, and “Room 101”.  This is the story of the down trodden and distinctly average Winston Smith who lives in post war Britain (now renamed “Air Strip One”), in a society controlled to the last minute detail by the all seeing government.  A community where secret police turn families against each other and every home is fitted with a screen to monitor domestic life.  Against all odds, love is the only ray of light in a mist of darkness and depression, as Winston embarks on a personal crusade strictly forbidden and begins an affair with a woman who works for the government.
