His works were often social commentaries arguing against totalitarianism in support of democratic socialism. The adjective 'Orwellian' describes totalitarian and authoritarian social practices, and many of his neologisms, such as 'Big Brother' and 'Thought Police' are in common use in the English language. This work is Orwell's final work and is a dystopian science fiction novel, first published by Secker & Warburg in 1949. Its events follow Winston Smith as he dreams of rebellion in an imagined version of the year 1984, in which government surveillance and propaganda are rife during ongoing war.This is a fourth impression of the first edition, complete with the dust wrapper preserved.
