Bound exclusively at Arch Books - First edition, first printing of George Orwell's seminal dystopian masterpiece, Nineteen Eighty-Four. Published by Secker & Warburg in London in 1949, this is Orwell's powerful and enduring ninth and final book.

Nineteen Eighty-Four stands as a stark and timeless warning against the dangers of totalitarianism in all its forms. Set in a chilling world where citizens are subjected to relentless surveillance and even independent thought is a punishable offense, the novel follows the quiet rebellion of Winston Smith, an ordinary worker at the Ministry of Truth who secretly yearns for freedom and truth.

This groundbreaking work has had an immeasurable impact on the English language, introducing iconic terms such as "doublethink," "newspeak," and "Big Brother" into our common lexicon. As Richard Packer eloquently stated, "No novel of the past century has had more influence than George Orwell's 1984... It's almost impossible to talk about propaganda, surveillance, authoritarian politics,"

George Orwell, the pen name of Eric Blair (1903-1950), drew upon his experiences, including his time with the Indian Imperial Police (from which he became disillusioned), to craft his powerful narratives. Nineteen Eighty-Four was his final literary achievement, written while he bravely battled tuberculosis and published just six months before his untimely death.

This first edition, first printing in its exquisite Morocco binding represents a rare opportunity to own a truly significant piece of literary history – a cornerstone of any serious collection of modern literature and a powerful reminder of the importance of freedom and truth.
