内容简介
《一九八四》是奥威尔的传世之作，堪称世界文坛最著名的反乌托邦、反极权的政治讽喻小说。他在小说中创造的“老大哥”、“双重思想”、“ 新话”等词汇都已收人权威的英语词典，甚至由他的姓衍生出“奥威尔式 (Orwellian)、“奥威尔主义”(Orwellism)这样的通用词汇，不断出现在报道国际新闻的记者笔下，足见其作品在英语国家影响之深远。
《一九八四》与苏联扎米亚京的《我们》、英国小赫胥黎的《美丽新世界》被合称为 “反乌托邦三部曲”。《一九八四》是一部政治讽刺小说。书中描述的是对极权主义恶性发展的预言——人性遭到扼杀，自由遭到剥夺，思想受到钳制，生活极度贫乏、单调。特别可怕的是：人性已堕落到不分是非善恶的程度。《一九八四》是奥威尔辞世前最后一部著作。

George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote.
Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.
The year 1984 has come and gone, yet George Orwell's nightmare vision of the world we were becoming in 1949 is still the great modern classic portrait of a negative Utopia.
