George Orwell (real name Eric Arthur Blair) is an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. His work is characterized by piercing social criticism, opposition to totalitarianism and frank support for the democratic aspirations of humanity. Author and popularizer of the term "Cold War" in political discourse. 1984 is undoubtedly the world's most famous dystopia, first published in 1949. The book follows the life of Winston Smith, a low-ranking member of the Party who is disillusioned with everyday life and the omnipresent eyes of the Party and its sinister leader, Big Brother. The Elder Brother controls all aspects of life: he introduced a simplified New Believer, trying to completely suffocate even the possibility of resistance to the system; criminalized thought crimes so that people would not even think about rebelling against the government. The party controls everything: what people read, say, do, threatening to send deaf people to the terrifying "room one hundred and one". Orwell explores the themes of media control, government surveillance, totalitarianism and how a dictator can manipulate and control history, thought and life in such a way that not a single living soul can escape the watchful eye of Big Brother.
