Synopsis

In a world where every thought is monitored and every word scrutinised, freedom remains a whisper. A striking addition to our bespoke collection of illustrated classics.

Big Brother is watching you.

Under the all-seeing eye of Big Brother, Winston Smith spends his days in the Ministry of Truth, rewriting the past to serve a government that erases and reshapes reality. But beneath his obedient surface, a flicker of rebellion smolders.

Despite constant surveillance and the ever-present threat of repression, he starts to inwardly question the Party. A note from a colleague - 'I love you' - marks the beginning of a secret affair that breaks all the rules. Together they embark on a dangerous journey against an all-seeing regime that punishes the desire to think freely.

But what will happen when they are found out?

This classic dystopian novel is a vision of life under totalitarian rule, where every thought or action could bring the Thought Police to the door. Part of a select range of illustrated 'rite of passage reads' from Faber, which includes: The Great Gatsby, The Bell Jar, Maurice and A Room with a View.
