Available September 2026 – pre-order now! Under the watchful eyes of Big Brother, the people of Oceania must submit totally to their government and suppress all expressions of indi viduality. 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.
