One of the BBC's '100 Novels that Shaped the World' 'Who controls
the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the
past' Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling
Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith skilfully rewrites the past to
suit the needs of the Party. Yet he inwardly rebels against the
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. George Orwell's dystopian masterpiece,
Nineteen Eighty-Four is perhaps the most pervasively influential
book of the twentieth century.
