Ever since its publication in 1948, George Orwell's terrifying
vision of a totalitarian regime where Big Brother controls its
citizens like 'a boot stamping on a human face' has become a
touchstone for human freedom, and one of the most widely-read books
in the world. In this new annotated edition Orwell's biographer D.
J. Taylor elucidates the full meaning of this timeless satire,
explaining contemporary references in the novel, placing it in the
context of Orwell's life, elaborating on his extraordinary use of
language and explaining the terms such as Newspeak, Doublethink and
Room 101 that have become familiar phrases today. This is the
essential edition of the essential book of modern times.
