Hard Cover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Holland, George (Orwell Jacket Caricature) (illustratore). First Edition. Stated at copyright page: "first Canadian edition." Tan full cloth boards, bold red cover and spine titles, light shelf wear, bump. Small surface pin-hole at back board. Lightly deckled pages near fine, clean; no writing Bind fine; hinges intact. Original first edition dust wrapper, moderate edge wear, rub, fleck; unclipped 3.00, protected in new clear sleeve. Wrapper flaps corners slightly clipped; appears as original from publisher. Classic mid-twentieth century wrapper in bright blue with bold black titles. Caricature of Orwell at back panel by George Holland. Rare very good first edition in good original wrapper. 1984 is the year in which it happened! The world is divided into three great powers, Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia, each perpetually at war. Britain is part of Oceania and is known as Airstrip 1. Throughout Oceania, The Party rules through four ministries, whose power is absolute. The Ministry of Peace deals with war, the Ministry of Love, seat of the dreaded Thought Police, handles 'law and order,' the Ministry of Plenty deals in scarcities, and the Ministry of Truth doles out the propaganda. 'New-speak' is the 'modern' perversion of language ordained by the Party. It has installed such remarkable words as double-think (duplicitousness), thought-crime, and sex-crime or 'love' in standard English. In every room, a tele-screen is installed, which can never be switched off, and where 'authorities' spy on every action, word, gesture, and thought. On every hoarding a huge face is displayed - the face of Big Brother! Set within this nightmare is the drama of Winston Smith, possibly the last man alive to rebel against the Party's rule and doctrine, clinging to the belief in the individual and in those precious human feelings and values. With flawless craftsmanship, ingenuity and narrative power Mr. Orwell lays out a terrifying potential future. The love of Winston for the amorous and independent Julia, and the fate that befalls them, stirs the reader's emotions as the cautionary tale paces to a tremendous climax. When Mr. Orwell's 'Animal Farm' was published three years prior, critics hailed him as a new Jonathan Swift. The satirical passages in '1984' justify the critics' verdict. But, presented here is much more than satire. Printed in the United States of America by the Haddon Craftsman, Scranton, Pa. 314 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Book.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition of George Orwell's (1903-1950) classic dystopian novel that has captured the imagination and fears of readers, critics, and social observers ever since its publication in 1949. Orwell's ninth and final book, written and published in the closing years of his life, Nineteen Eighty-Four provides a gripping and prophetic meditation on the twentieth century's totalitarian movements. Set in an imaginary future (1984) absorbed in conflict, the story traces the fate of Winston Smith, a diligent party worker in the superstate of Oceania, who secretly abhors and yearns to rebel against the ruling Party and its dictatorial leader, Big Brother. Equal parts science fiction and cautionary tale, Nineteen Eighty-Four accentuates the historical revisionism, propaganda practices, linguistic manipulation, and violence that characterized Stalinist Russia, Nazi Germany, and other ascendent totalitarian ideologies of the pre- and postwar world. Nineteen Eighty-Four would share important themes with Orwell's satirical and allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945), including an emphasis on social stratification, the subordination of the modern individual to the collective, the power and manipulability of language, and the consequences of ideological revolution. Nineteen Eighty-Four was first published in the UK by Secker & Warburg in 1949 to high critical acclaim, and in the US by Harcourt, Brace & Company the same year. It has remained a mainstay on popular and critical reading lists ever since, and its concepts and neologisms, including "Big Brother," "doublespeak," "thoughtcrime," and "memory hole," have managed to endure as important terms in our twenty-first century lexicon-as has the eponymous phrase "Orwellian." In 2005, Time Magazine selected the book as one of the 100 best English-language works published between 1923 and 2005, and the Modern Library named it one of the best works published in the twentieth century. One of the greatest works of modern fiction, here in first edition with a striking custom binding. Octavo. First edition rebound in modern red morocco with skull buttons and "Winston Smith" lettered in white to left breast with on-laid fake eye to chest with blind-stamped lines; title and name lettered in white on spine; front and rear free endpapers and pastedowns replaced with collage of Orwell's eyes, including a secret "trapdoor" on front pastedown disclosing a picture of the Queen of England; minor toning to certain leaves, including title page (as pictured). Brilliant first edition in remarkable custom binding. First edition, first printing with "First published 1949" on copyright page.
