Tisuću devetsto osamdeset četvrta

George Orwell

The novel Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of the most significant novels in world literature and certainly the most famous dystopian novel in general. The novel shows the planned submission of the individual to the collective, in an atmosphere of moral and ma

Nineteen Eighty-Four tells about the life of a regime official in the Ministry of Truth who works on falsifying historical facts, on daily harmonizing official history with official policy. Dissatisfied with his job and life in which the Thought Police monitor his every move, every word he uttered or intended to utter day and night through telescreens, he tries to do something, to resist the totalitarian system, although he is aware of total control and mortal danger.

The novel is usually described as dystopian and futuristic, but readers who, unlike the author, lived through 1984 are well aware of his 1984. What seemed unfathomable, excessive or impractical in Orwell's time, for the most part came true before 1984. year. Because of the strong dark vision of the future, 1984 became not only a chronological term but also a description of the state of mind of the human community characterized by alienation, injustice, violence, dictatorship and fear, and terms from the book such as: "Big Brother", "a world of permanent war" , "novogovor", "room 101", "Orwellian"... have long crossed the borders of the literary world.
