1984

George Orwell's great dystopian classic in a masterful new translation. In 1948, after three years of work, George Orwell finished his last novel, which was to make him world famous: "1984" depicts a world in which a totalitarian surveillance state determines people's lives down to the last detail. What Orwell, alongside the Soviet reality, still saw as a threatening prospect has long since become reality today, although it is not only governments, but above all corporations, that are listening to and influencing us. With his new translation, Frank Heibert presents a text that is as courageous as it is sovereign, justifying the designation of translational masterpiece - the definitive edition of "1984" for the 21st century.
