{"product_id":"9780198829195","title":"Nineteen Eighty-Four - John Bowen","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever.' 1984 Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), George Orwell's final novel, was completed in difficult conditions shortly before his early death. It is one of the most influential and widely-read novels of the post-war period, and has been a huge international bestseller over many decades. Continually in print, it has long been controversial, both in its immediate Cold War context and in later history. It is in some ways a realist novel, but in others is more akin to a work of science fiction, a dystopia or a satire. It also has strong affiliations to Gothic in its plotting, motifs and affective states. Full of horror and terror, it contains prophetic dreams and a central character who thinks of himself as a 'monster', a 'ghost' and 'already dead'. Like Frankenstein and Dracula, it is fascinated by the power of a documentary remnant addressed to an unknown reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Bowen","offers":[{"title":"304 pages \/ 28\/01\/2021 \/ Literature \u0026 literary studies","offer_id":57208636998007,"sku":"9780198829195","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780198829195.jpg?v=1782126187","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780198829195","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
