George Orwell is one of the most influential writers of Great Britain in the middle and second half of the 20th century, and the dystopian novel "1984" is called a model of the genre and a guide to difficult times. Its popularity has increased significantly recently.Double-thinking, news-talk, thought police, a ministry of love that hurts, despairs and destroys dissenters, a ministry of peace that incites wars, robot writers that produce pornographic literature to distract the masses... Orwell opened our eyes to how totalitarian regimes function.Lies will become truths. This lie changes the past every day... By continuously replacing any facts, the past can become completely different tomorrow - and that will be the truth. Your every look, every breath and gesture has long been studied. You have no right to desires and emotions... The novel confuses, moves, makes you recognize its truth and think.The book was first published on June 8, 1949. Orwell wrote it against the background of ruins, among hungry, tired and war-weary people. However, today it is more relevant than ever.
