Csongor Reviews: 1984

1984 is a classic, disturbing and dystopian novel by George Orwell that depicts a totalitarian society where the ruling Party controls every aspect of life through propaganda, surveillance and censorship. The novel follows the life of Winston Smith, a low-ranking member (comrade) of the Party who works at the Ministry of Truth (MiniTrue), where he alters historical records to suit the Party’s requisitions. Orwell creates a bleak and oppressive world where people are manipulated by lies, fear and violence.

He explores themes such as language, trth, memory, history, power, resistance, and human nature. He also invents some terms such as Newspeak, doublethink, and thoughtcrime. The novel i swidely regarded as one of the most influential works of the 20th century and has inspired many adaptations in film, television, theatre, music, and art. In my opinion, this is one of the most prominent pieces of literature ever written and should be considered s in a timeless parable. 5 out of 5.
