War is peace. Ignorance is strength. Thought is crime. George Orwell's
acclaimed work gives a harrowing warning of a dystopian future which, sadly,
has become all too familiar. With the rise of nationalism across Europe and now
in America, what better time to retell the warnings this story
shares about a desperate future that we all hope to avoid, yet seem
inexorably drawn towards.
