1984

George Orwell’s nineteen Eighty-Four is one of the most definitive texts of modern literature. Set in Oceania one of the three inter-continental superstate that divided the world among themselves after a global war Orwell’s masterful critique of the political structures of the time works itself out through the story of Winston Smith a man caught in the webs of a dystopian future and his clandestine love affair with Julia a young woman he meets during the course of his work for the government. As much as it is an entertaining read nineteen Eighty-Four is also a brilliant and more importantly a timeless satirical attack on the social and political structures of the world.
