Krátky popis
1984 isn't just a novel, it's a key to understanding the modern
world. George Orwell's final work is a treasure chest of ideas and
memes - Big Brother, the Thought Police, Doublethink, Newspeak,
2+2=5 - that gain potency with every year. Particularly in 2016,
when the election of Donald Trump made it a bestseller (`Ministry
of Alternative Facts', anyone?). Its influence has morphed
endlessly into novels (The Handmaid's Tale), films (Brazil),
television shows (V for Vendetta), rock albums (Diamond Dogs),
commercials (Apple), even reality TV (Big Brother). The Ministry of
Truth by Dorian Lynskey is the first book that fully examines the
epochal and cultural event that is 1984 in all its aspects: its
roots in the utopian and dystopian literature that preceded it, the
personal experiences in wartime Britain that Orwell drew on as he
struggled to finish his masterpiece in his dying days, and the
political and cultural phenomena that the novel ignited at once
upon publication and that far from subsiding, have only grown over
the decades. It explains how fiction history informs fiction and
how fiction explains history.
