Nineteen Eighty-Four: A Novel, often referred to as 1984, is a dystopian social science fiction novel by the English novelist George Orwell (the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair). It was published on 8 June 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwell's ninth and final book completed in his lifetime. Thematically, Nineteen Eighty-Four centres on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of persons and behaviours within society. Orwell, himself a democratic socialist, modelled the authoritarian government in the novel after Stalinist Russia. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within politics and the ways in which they are manipulated.

Also contained in:

4 Sterne

Während die ersten beiden Teile von Nineteen Eighty-Four noch äußerst spannend das Überleben und den Kampf gegen einen fiktiven diktatorischen Überwachungsstaat zeigen, verliert sich die Geschichte im dritten Teil ausschließlich in den brutalen Foltermethoden, die der Protagonist nach seiner Verhaftung über sich ergehen lassen muss. Wer nicht aufpasst, könnte meinen, dass es sich hier um eine Kritik am Sozialismus handelt, aber George Orwell war selbst bekennender Sozialist und kritisiert eher den Autoritarismus.
