FROM THE CRITICS
Mark Schorer - Books of the Century; New York Times review, June
It is probable that no other work of this generation has made us desire 
freedom more earnestly or loathe tyranny with such fullness. 1984, the 
most contemporary novel of the year and who knows of now many past and 
to come, is a great examination into and dramatization of Lord Acton's 
famous apothegm, " power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrups 
absolutely. "

Review
“Nineteen Eighty-Four is a remarkable book; as a virtuoso literary performance it has a sustained 
brilliance that has rarely been matched in other works of its genre…It is as timely as the label on a 
poison bottle.” –New York Herald Tribune

“A profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book…Orwell’s theory of power is developed brilliantly.” 
–The New Yorker

“A book that goes through the reader like an east wind, cracking the skin…Such are the originality, the 
suspense, the speed of writing, and withering indignation that it is impossible to put the book down.”
 –V. S. Pritchett

“Orwell’s novel escorts us so quietly, so directly, and so dramatically from our own day to the fate 
which may be ours in the future, that the experience is a blood-chilling one.” –Saturday Review
