Now with chapter links! The readers' poll for the best novels published in the English language since 1900 closed on 20 October 1998, with 217,520 votes cast. NINETEEN EIGHT-FOUR, was place number 6 out of the best 100 novels. George Orwell, wrote most of Nineteen Eighty-Four on the island of Jura, Scotland, during 1947–1948 while critically ill with tuberculosis.
Although the novel has been banned or challenged in some countries, it is, along with Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, among the most famous literary representations of dystopia. In 2005, Time magazine listed it among the hundred best English-language novels published since 1923.
The novel's title, its terms and its language (Newspeak), and its author's surname are bywords for personal privacy lost to national state security. The adjective "Orwellian" denotes totalitarian action and organisation; the phrase: Big Brother is Watching You connotes pervasive, invasive surveillance. The following quotation from the novel has become famous: War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.
Nineteen Eighty-Four is certainly one of the most important novels written in the 20th century, because it gives an insight into the political lies, distortions and deceptions that are used to control society. Apart from that, the story is interesting from start to finish, and contains satire that opens out political thought for us to see the corruption so often present.
