Toronto: S. J. Reginald Saunders & Co., 1949. First Canadian edition. Hardcover. Very good/Good. 314 p. 21 cm. Grey cloth hardcover in mylar-covered teal dustjacket.

Remains of label on front free endpaper.
George Orwell's most famous dystopian novel portrays an oligarchical, collectivist society where life consists of perpetual war, pervasive government surveillance and incessant public mind control. Though sometimes interpreted as an attack on socialism, Orwell really meant it to be a show-up of socialism's perversions, which in his time had already been partly realized in communism and fascism. His book was set in Britain ("Airstrip 1") in order to emphasize that the English-speaking world was not innately better than anywhere else, and that totalitarianism, if not fought against, could triumph anywhere. As disturbing today as when it was written.
