A propos de cet article

An attractive copy bound in finely woven brown cloth and stamped brightly in red on the front boards and the spine. Darkening to the top and bottom edges of the spine.Very clean and tight throughout. With plain endpapers and a name in ink on the front paste-down. In the original first issue red dust jacket with the price of $3.00 at the top of the inside front flap. Heavy edge-wear along the spine folds. With several pieces of tape along the spine folds on the verso. Sun-fading to the spine; wear and chipping to the top and bottom of the spine and chips along the top edges of the front and rear panels. A very good copy of the book in a worn dust jacket. Nineteen-eighty-Four 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. Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 - 21 January 1950) known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. He was born in Motihari, Bihar, British India. His birthplace and ancestral house in Motihari is now a historical monument. His work is characterised by lucid prose, biting social criticism, total opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism. Orwell produced literary criticism and poetry, fiction and polemical journalism. He is best known for his novels "Animal Farm" (1945) and the dystopian novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four" (1949). Animal Farm had particular resonance in the post-war climate and its worldwide success made Orwell a sought-after figure. Orwell also produced journalistic work for the Tribune, The Observer and the Manchester Evening News. He contributed to many political and literary magazines. His best-known work was Nineteen Eighty-Four, which was published in 1949. The Times ranked George Orwell second among "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945". By 1984, Orwell's novel "Nineteen Eighty Four" had been proven prophetic, prescient and all too real. First Edition with stated: "First American Edition" on the copyright page. And "Printed in the United States of America." 1st Edition with "First American Edition" slug on the copyright page. First issue dust jacket.…
