1984 (English Edition) 75th Anniversary. With an Afterword by Erich Fromm

If there is a place all hope dies, it's "1984". One may read and experiance it, think about it deeply and then be smitten by it's reallity. The profanity of evil. The play with the feeling of being surveilled is ever present, whilst the long and dry passages of the book reflect perfectly the bitter, sad, joy- and hopeless days of a live in an all around perfect dictatory system. To feel like a mous in a trap. Some might believe otherwise, but there is no way out. Big brother is ALWAYS watching.

I found this book to be notoriously slow-paced, with the story not picking up at all and the author wasting time describing useless details of Winston's day-to-day life in dystopian London.
