This is not just another edition of 1984. It is perhaps the best one released in our country, and you will understand this from the beginning, from the moment you hold the book in your hands and touch its cover.

Oxy Publications enrich their Oxy Classics series with a significant addition, that of George Orwell's most well-known – perhaps – book. 1984 (original title: The Last Man in Europe) was the first book he wrote after the death of his wife, Eileen, and the only one after his recognition as a prominent name in the field of prose. 

With his health deteriorating and experiencing the concerns that followed the initial enthusiasm after the end of World War II, Orwell envisioned a future where the lack of individual freedoms and governmental obligations are far from the basic principles of Democracy, yet almost unquestioned by anyone.

A world where every human right is violated and every concept of freedom and individuality is abolished. A world where Big Brother watches everything through advanced technology devices. A world where the war against an invisible enemy never ends, thoughts become illegal, and any deviation from the regime's mandates is mercilessly punished until it is "corrected." A world where the rulers have the ability to alter the past and deny the self-evident nature of reality, a world where language and its words change to align with new data…

A verified dystopian vision in the form of a novel, 1984, one of those rare works that accurately defined its century, continues to warn us more than seventy years after its release that totalitarianism, along with all its illusions, knows no bounds or limits and does not definitively belong to the past.
