Book Overview

One of the most influential books of the twentieth century gets the graphic treatment in this first-ever adaptation of George Orwell's 1984.

War is Peace * Freedom is Slavery * Ignorance is Strength

In 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called the Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be in a world where surveillance is total.

With evocative, immersive art from Fido Nesti, this vision of George Orwell's dystopian masterpiece provides a new perspective for longtime fans but is also an accessible entry point for young readers and adults who have yet to discover the iconic story that remains a powerful commentary on modern political events.

How does one man challenge a power that can alter reality itself?

  • A Classic Dystopian World: Experience the grim, meticulously realized London of Oceania, where the Party sees everything and history is rewritten daily.
  • Forbidden Love and Rebellion: Follow Winston and Julia's dangerous affair, a small act of freedom that puts them in direct opposition to a regime that seeks to crush all individuality.
  • The Horrors of Thought Control: Witness the chilling power of the Thought Police and the psychological warfare that demands not just obedience, but the surrender of one's own mind.
  • Stunning Visual Storytelling: See Orwell's iconic vision brought to life through Fido Nesti's immersive and atmospheric artwork, making the classic text accessible to a new generation.

About George Orwell
George Orwell (pseudonym for Eric Blair [1903-50]) was born in Bengal and educated at Eton; after service with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, he returned to Europe to earn his living penning novels and essays. He was essentially a political writer who focused his attention on his own times, a man of intense feelings and intense hates. An opponent of totalitarianism, he served in the Loyalist forces in the Spanish Civil War. Besides his classic Animal Farm, his works include a novel based on his experiences as a colonial policeman, Burmese Days, two firsthand studies of poverty, Down and Out in Paris and London and The Road to Wigan Pier, an account of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia; and the extraordinary novel of political prophecy whose title became part of our language, 1984.
