About This Item

Paris, Gallimard, coll. La Méridienne, (mai) 1948.
1 vol. (130 x 188 mm) de 374 p. et [1] f. In wrappers.


First edition of the French translation.

One of the first 34 on vélin pur fil (no. 30).

George Orwell's 1984 is a myth that goes beyond literature, depicting a world of permanent control, where language itself is the site of conditioning. We follow the story of Winston Smith, in a London set in the dystopian universe of Oceania, a world where the past tends to dissolve in the eternal present of mass media. "Novlangue", "thought police", "Big Brother": the key concepts of 1984 have become essential references for understanding the totalitarian forces at work in contemporary societies, in a world where remote surveillance has become widespread, where digitization has given unprecedented impetus to the power of big companies and the arbitrariness of governments.

Orwell's masterpiece.

A very nice copy in wrappers.

Édition originale de la traduction française.
Un des 34 premiers sur vélin pur fil (n° 30).

On ne présente plus 1984 de George Orwell : un mythe qui dépasse la simple littérature, qui dépeint un monde de contrôle permanent, où la langue même est le lieu du conditionnement. On y suit l'histoire de Winston Smith, dans un Londres placé dans l'univers dystopique de l'Oceania, un unviers où le passé tend à se dissoudre dans l'éternel présent de l'actualité médiatique. " Novlangue ", " police de la pensée ", " Big Brother " : les concepts clés de 1984 sont devenus des références essentielles pour comprendre les ressorts totalitaires des sociétés contemporaines, celles d'un monde où la télésurveillance s'est généralisée, où la numérisation a donné un élan sans précédent au pouvoir des grandes entreprises et à l'arbitraire des États.

Le chef-d'oeuvre d'Orwell.
