- Book 3 of 8: The English Edition
Under the watchful eyes of Big Brother, the people of Oceania must submit totally to their government and suppress all expressions of individuality. Telescreens are everywhere, helicopters hover around buildings, and the Thought Police are constantly on alert. Despite the threat of severe punishment, diligent desk clerk Winston Smith sits down to write a diary which begins his quiet resistance against the regime.
Arguably the twentieth century's most famous novel, 1984 is a dystopian study of political tyranny, mind control, paranoia and secret mass surveillance, which continues to resonate to this day.
This beautifully illustrated collector's edition features the complete text and 24 specially-commissioned, full-colour illustrations by Jason Millet. Whether you're approaching 1984 for the first time, or want to experience it afresh with new illustrations, this collectible edition is perfect for any lover of classic literature.
ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Illustrated Classics series brings together handsome hardcover editions of classic works, beautifully presented with full-colour, specially-commissioned illustrations, patterned endpapers and dust jackets.

About the Author
George Orwell is one of England's most famous writers and social commentators. Among his works are the classic political satire Animal Farm and the dystopian nightmare vision Nineteen Eighty-Four. Orwell was also a prolific essayist, and it is for these works that he was perhaps best known during his lifetime.
Jason Millet is an illustrator, storyboard artist, and comic artist who has illustrated over a dozen children's books, created storyboards and concept art for film and TV, and produced comics and advertising work. Inspired by classic illustrators, animators, and the Old Masters, Jason lives in Chicago with his wife, daughter, and their occasionally-obedient cat.
