Among the seminal texts of the 20th century, 1984 is a rare work that grows more haunting as its futuristic purgatory becomes more real. Published in 1949, the book offers political satirist George Orwell's nightmarish vision of a totalitarian, bureaucratic world and one poor stiff's attempt to find individuality. The brilliance of the novel is Orwell's prescience of modern life—the ubiquity of television, the distortion of the language—and his ability to construct such a thorough version of hell. Required reading for students since it was published, it ranks among the most terrifying novels ever written.

在20世纪的开创性著作中,《1984》是一部稀有作品。随着其未来主义的炼狱变得更加真实,它变得更加令人困扰。 该书于1949年出版,描述了政治讽刺作家乔治·奥威尔对极权主义,官僚主义世界的噩梦,以及一个穷人试图找到个性的种种尝试。小说的卓越在于奥威尔对现代生活的预见-电视的普及,语言的扭曲-以及他建构彻底的地狱的能力。 自出版以来,该书是学生必读的书籍,是有史以来最恐怖的小说之一。
