It's 1984, and Britain (now called Airstrip One) has long been absorbed into the larger trans-Atlantic nation of Oceania. Oceania has been at war for as long as anyone can remember, and is ruled by an ultra-totalitarian Party, whose leader is a quasi-mythical figure called Big Brother. In short, everything about this world is as it is in Orwell's 1984. Julia has known no other world than that of Oceania and, until she meets Winston Smith, never imagined one. She's an ideal citizen of Oceania. Cheerfully cynical, believing in nothing and caring not at all about politics, she routinely breaks the rules but also collaborates with the regime whenever necessary. Everyone likes Julia. But when one day, finding herself walking toward Winston in a corridor, she impulsively hands him a note, a potentially suicidal gesture, she comes to realize that she's losing her grip and can no longer safely navigate her world. The passing of that note sets into motion the devastating, unforgettable events of the classic story. 600 10 $a Orwell, George, $d 1903-1950. $t Nineteen eighty-four $x Criticism and interpretation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mechanics $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Imaginary places $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dystopias $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Political fiction. 650 0 $a Science fiction. 650 0 $a Novels. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Brealey, Louise, $e narrator. 700 1 $i Adaptation of (work) : $a Orwell, George, $d 1903-1950. $t Nineteen eighty-four. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20231202013739.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2128AFC090E311EEA8442A1A39ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
