Nineteen eighty-four

"Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling Ministry of Truth, Winston Smitti skilfully rewrites the past to suit the needs of the Party. Yet he inwardly rebels against tfie totalitarian world he lives in, which demands absolute obedience and controls him through the all-seeing telescreens and the watchful eye of Big Brother, symbolic head of the Party. In his longing for truth and liberty, Smith begins a secret love affair with a fellow-worker, Julia, but soon discovers the true price of freedom is betrayal."--Back cover.
