George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four introduced powerful terms like “Big Brother,” “Thought Police,” and “Orwellian” into our cultural vocabulary. First published in 1949, this landmark dystopian novel imagines a future where truth is manipulated, facts are rewritten, and constant surveillance controls society.
This year’s Banned Books Week is taking place October 5–11 and brings together the entire book community in shared support of the freedom to read. Celebrate your freedom to read by revisiting an oft challenged novel that continues to challenge and illuminate the world around us.
