It is novel about the society of the future in fact Orwell imagine Britain 40 years in the future as a totalitarian dictatorship, which combines elements of both communism and fascism in an all powerfull omniscient police-state, based on terror. The country is ruled by an organisation called "The Party" at the head of which there is the "Big Brother" whose photographs dominate every public space, proclaming "Big Brother is watching you". At home every citizen is spied by a telescreen and every rebellion against the rules is punished with prison and torture. Wiston Smith is an intellectual and a member of the party, who works at the Ministry of Trurh and whose job is to carrey out this manipulation of the facts by rewriting old books and newspapers. He rebels against this work and begins to dream of smashing the system, but in the end the "Thought Police" arrest him and he is brainwashed into conformity again. The outstanding achievement of this novel is the original and informative account Orwell gives of political mechanism of totalitarism: the methods by which thought is controlled, privacy invaded, personal resistance broken down. In the Britain of the future The Party is introducing the "Newspeak", a new language where the number of words used in common speach will be cut down to limit the danger of indipendent thought. In this way the totalitarian state can control the thoughts of its citizens. The second great achievement of the book is the way in which it is written, clear evidence of what Orwell meant when he compared writing to a window-pane.
