'The marbled paper <3 I could cry'
'Love love love this collection '
'I must have all of them <3 <3'
'Our beloved classics with sprayed edges too! They are absolutely STUNNING!'
A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Orwell's terrifying, must-read dystopian novel about the erasure of individuality and free thought, with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon.
The year is 1984. War and revolution have created an unrecognisable world. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One, is ruled by the Party, led by Big Brother. Mass surveillance is total and The Thought Police ensure no individual thinking is allowed.
Winston Smith works at The Ministry of Truth, carefully rewriting history. But Winston dreams of freedom, and of rebellion. It is here that he falls in love with Julia, and starts a secret, forbidden affair with her - but in this world nothing can be kept secret, and they are forced to face consequences more terrifying than either of them could have ever imagined.
