500 _aRegarded as a great instance of twentieth century English Literature, George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four was first published in the summer of 1949, and set in Oceania—one of the three intercontinental superstates. In this novel, Orwell presents a powerful critique of the times through the fictional global war among the super powers of Oceania that had divided the whole world. Orwell creates a convincing and haunting imaginary world steeped into political ravages and dis-organization. His masterful critique of the political structures of the times comes out through the life of Winston Smith, a man caught in the web of a dystopian future, and his covert affair with Julia, a woman he meets during his service at a Government post. Brilliantly woven with a genial Orwellian spark, this novel is a classic satirical take on the political and social structures of all times. About the Author George Orwell: George Orwell, born as Eric Arthur Blair on June 25, 1903 in Bihar, India was a much-respected English novelist, political author and journalist who wrote some of the finest pieces in literary criticism, poetry, fiction and polemical journalism. Orwell's work is known for its simplicity, astuteness and wit, he wrote with great cleverness on subjects such as anti-fascism, democratic socialism, totalitarianism and the anti-Stalinist left. His best works include Animal Farm, Nineteen Eighty Four and Homage to Catalonia. Orwell died at the age of Forty-Six in 1950.
