Inhaltsangabe

In an England torn apart by wars, civil conflict, and revolution, Winston Smith struggles to survive in a one-room apartment in the bleak province of Airstrip One. In this totalitarian society―where individuality is forbidden and every thought is monitored by the omnipresent Thought Police―the Party dictates every aspect of life under the watchful eye of its mysterious leader, Big Brother.

Tele-screens, hidden cameras, and secret microphones ensure constant surveillance, allowing no room for dissent. As an editor at the Ministry of Truth, Winston’s job is to rewrite history―altering records, editing photographs, erasing “unpersons,” and consigning original documents to the “memory hole.” But as he secretly begins to question the regime, Winston starts a forbidden journal chronicling his doubts about the Party and its leader.

When he meets Julia, who shares his disdain for Big Brother, their clandestine love affair offers a fleeting glimpse of freedom. Together, they dare to believe they can escape the Party’s control and join the Brotherhood―an underground resistance determined to wage war against tyranny. Yet, in a world where truth itself is manipulated, rebellion may come at the ultimate cost.
