2+2 = 5
《一九八四》原於1949年成書,作者George Orwell在這部預言性作品中,描繪了一個被「老大哥」無所不在的目光所統治的恐怖國度。《一九八四》被譽為世界三大反烏托邦小說之一,創造了「思想犯罪」、「新語」、「雙重思想」等膾炙人口的概念,亦啟發了後世的文學創作,包括村上春樹的《1Q84》。
七十多年後的今天,《一九八四》的政治警示依然發人深省。為了讓更多香港讀者可以接觸和閱讀到這部不朽鉅著,山道文化與作者良臻以香港文字風格重新編譯本作,並將小說背景改成1984年的香港,故事情節、元素和結局均有別出心裁的修改。
準備好逃避監視、質疑現實,進入《一九八四‧香港》的驚慄世界,為真相、愛情與人性而戰。

Written more than 70 years ago, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...
A startling and haunting novel, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

George Orwell (pseudonym for Eric Blair [1903-50]) was born in Bengal and educated at Eton; after service with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, he returned to Europe to earn his living penning novels and essays. He was essentially a political writer who focused his attention on his own times, a man of intense feelings and intense hates. An opponent of totalitarianism, he served in the Loyalist forces in the Spanish Civil War. Besides his classicAnimal Farm, his works include a novel based on his experiences as a colonial policeman, Burmese Days, two firsthand studies of poverty, Down and Out in Paris and London and The Road to Wigan Pier, an account of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia; and the extraordinary novel of political prophecy whose title became part of our language,1984.
