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. Author Biography George Orwell was the pen name of Eric Blair, a writer and political commentator. In 2008, THE TIMES ranked him second on a list of The 50 greatest British writers since 1945. His work continues to influence popular and political culture. Tamsin Greig., Nicky Henson and Toby Jones star in this new drama. Review One of the BBCs 100 Novels that Shaped the World "Orwell saw, to his credit, that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions. It is, above all, a way of asserting power."—The New Yorker "1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. It is a fantasy of the political future, and like any such fantasy, serves its author as a magnifying device for an examination of the present."—Lionel Trilling — Review Quote One of the BBCs 100 Novels that Shaped the World "Orwell saw, to his credit, that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions.
