Description: If you want a picture of the future imagine a boot stamping on a human face - - forever. 1984 Nineteen Eighty - Four (1949) George Orwell's final novel was completed in difficult conditions shortly before his early death. It is one of the most influential and widely - read novels of the post - war period and has been a huge international bestseller over many decades. Continually in print it has long been controversial both in its immediate Cold War context and in later history. It is in some ways a realist novel but in others is more akin to a work of science fiction a dystopia or a satire. It also has strong affiliations to Gothic in its plotting motifs and affective states. Full of horror and terror it contains prophetic dreams and a central character who thinks of himself as a 'monster' a 'ghost and 'already dead'. Like Frankenstein and Dracula it is fascinated by the power of a documentary remnant addressed to an unknown reader.
