London, 1984: Winston Smith, a history falsifier in the service of the state, falls in love with the beautiful and mysterious Julia. Together, they begin to question the totalitarian world in which they have been living. However, even their thoughts are crimes, and Big Brother keeps his ever-watchful eye on every potential dissident. George Orwell's vision of a totalitarian state, where cyber surveillance, historical revisionism, and thought police dictate the lives of transparent citizens, has gained unprecedented relevance compared to any other dystopia to this day. This bilingual edition presents the German and English texts side by side on opposing pages.
