A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick With extraordinary relevance and renewed popularity, George Orwell’s 1984 takes on new life in this hardcover edition. “Orwell saw, to his credit, that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions. It is, above all, a way of asserting power.”—The New Yorker   In 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be. Lionel Trilling said of Orwell’s masterpiece “1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. It is a fantasy of the political future, and like any such fantasy, serves its author as a magnifying device for an examination of the present.” Though the year 1984 now exists in the past, Orwell’s novel remains an urgent call for the individual willing to speak truth to power.

Günümüz Türiye'sine ışık tutan, tüyleri diken diken eden bir kitap. Okurken "bu kadar da olmaz" dediğim her ne varsa hepsini yaşattılar, sağ olsun. Distopik evrenler her zaman içine çekmiştir zaten beni ama 1984 başka. Acı ama gerçek bir tecrübeydi. Bir daha okuyabilir miyim? Sanmam. Ağır, özümsenmesi zor ve sarsıcı bir kitap.

Muhteşem bir kitap ben 2 sefer okudum. Kütüphanede olması gereken kitaplardandır. Sürükleyici ve düşündüren hatta korkutan bir kitap. :)

Düşünmek şimdilik suç değilken düşüncelerimizin ortasında 1984 distopyasını her zaman bulundurmamız gerekiyor. George Orwell’ın düşünen insanlara bir teşekkür niteliğinde yazdığı 1984, aslında düşünmenin sadece dayatılanı düşünmek olmadığını bilen insanların asla unutmayacağı bir kitap.
