George Orwell: 1984 (Эксмо)

1984. Four digits that have become a symbol of totalitarianism. George Orwell himself titled his manuscript “The Last Man in Europe” — after all, it is a novel about how unbearably difficult it is to remain human when everything human is forbidden. The inhabitants of Orwell's Oceania have no freedom of speech, no freedom of choice, no freedom of thought or feeling… Only unthinking loyalty, blind obedience, and unquenchable enthusiasm. Is it possible to survive in such a reality and still remain human? Read the novel in the original, admire the words and concepts invented by Orwell, and improve your English. The mood of the book is emphasized by its stylish design and black-and-white illustrations — for in Orwell's world there are no shades or half-tones, only friend or foe, enemy or ally, black or white.
