1984168588Weston Massachusetts: M&S Press 1984. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength First edition one of 275 deluxe copies from a total edition of 330 copies specially bound by the Grey Parrot bindery. This privately printed edition presents all that survives of the preliminary draft versions of Nineteen Eight-Four a manuscript described by Sonia Orwell as "the only MS of any of George's books in existence". Orwell's classic work of dystopian fiction was begun in 1946 and composed in four stages. The extant manuscript provides the narrative of Nineteen Eighty-Four in outline from the beginning almost to the conclusion with some gaps. As noted by Peter Davison in his introduction "Despite all the rewriting revealed by this facsimile it is remarkable how closely what has survived adheres to the main sweep of the narrative of Nineteen Eighty-Four. All the principal features except the Appendix on Newspeak are present suggesting that the story had been pretty fully formed in Orwell's mind by the time he sat down to write it". In 1952 Sonia Orwell contributed "the original manuscript of Orwell's last novel partly in typescript but mainly in his own manuscript" to a charity auction at Christie's. It sold to Scribner's of New York who then arranged a sale to a collector in Kansas. Scribner's again handled the manuscript in 1969 when it was sold to Daniel G. Siegel. It is now at Brown University Library. Totalling 330 copies this edition includes two issues: 275 copies with morocco-backed marbled boards and 55 "special copies". The volume comprises a preface by Daniel G. Siegel an introduction by Davison 190 colour facsimile illustrations and a full transcript of Orwell's manuscript. Folio. 190 colour facsimile illustrations. Original blue morocco-backed marbled boards by Grey Parrot Easthampton spine lettered in gilt light grey endpapers. Housed in original grey cloth slipcase. Fine condition. Presented in original numbered cardboard carton. hardcover

Connolly 100 <br> 1984 was Orwell's most significant novel. Phrases as 'Double Think' 'Newspeak' and 'Big Brother' were coined in the book. The first US edition was printed by Harcourt Brace and Company in 1949 only five days after the U.K. edition. The UK edition first printing ran 26575 copies the US edition was 20000. <br> <br> A wonderful contemporary review by William Soskin "The disease that has a frenzied world in its grip has been accurately diagnosed. It is the disease of Power-state power and economic power immorally exploited. We know the disease. We do not know the cure. We do not even know the prognosis -whether men will survive or be utterly quelled and defeated. Various writers have attempted to instill in us a dread of the ominous shape of things to come and they have not succeeded chiefly because their prognosis has involved time-machines flights into mechanical and biological fantasies brave new worlds such as Aldous Huxley's and erotic ballets of the future such as Robert Graves's recent "Watch the North Wind Rise." They know the symptoms of the disease of Power these writers but they somehow have not been able to construct the future in terms close enough to the reality the fear in our hearts.It is the great realists of literature rather than the satirists and fantasy-spinners who have had the gift of leading us quietly from what is to what can be. And George Orwell's novel escorts us so quietly so directly and so dramatically from our own day to the fate which may be ours in the future that the experience is a blood-chilling one. Here is a novelist who understands the nature of the beast the quality of the future to be possessed by Power and who projects that future not in terms of gadgets or mechanical miracles not even in terms of such lurid though horribly real machines as the atomic bomb. It is because he creates the totalitarian future in terms of passion and human feeling close to our own that his book has immense stature. Orwell has created a new kind of novel. He has told the story of a comparatively normal fellow Winston Smith who is caught in the inexorable machinery of the monolithic state hounded by the forces of hatred fear and cruelty which the new civilization exalts pursued and beaten into mental and spiritual death. His privacy is dead. In his squalid apartment the telescreen tells him always what to do how to move and talk and think; what to believe. His every motion may by observed by the Thought Police through this telescreen. Smith works in the Ministry of Truth falsifying official records and news reports every time the state changes its domestic or foreign policy. Thus history is destroyed and the state controls the past as well as the present and the future. Thus ignorance an essential condition to the survival of such a state is exalted. This is an important conception in Orwell’s drama of the disease of Power run rampant but is it not close enough to our own statistical and communications systems to contain terrifying meaning for our own way of lifeIn this world which condemns personality where the dictatorship has conditioned men and women against love where food is revolting and language has been altered into something called doublethink whereby you may believe two contradictory things at once our party-faithful will understand the need for this! there is still a spark of surviving individuality in Smith. The novel depicts his heroic search for an underground movement in revolt against the nightmare that is the State. It also tells of the sad course of his attempt to escape the frustrated conception of sex and to carry on a love affair that bears some resemblance to romance some relation to physical joy.He fails this individualist and the gestapo which undoes him and the inquisitors who force his confessions and his final submission make our own police methods and our cardinals' trials seem like child's play. The chapters dealing with this final inquisition easily stand comparison with the inquisitor's scene in "The Brothers Karamazov." The story of official pursuit has all the suspense and melodrama of a super-detective novel but instead of an exercise in criminal chase we are confronted with the grim pursuit that hangs over the head of every modern man. It is a pursuit that makes us examine our own lives with a new eye. It is a novel that heightens today's problems with the light of their wrong solution. It turns a skeptic's gaze on all forms of regimentation even though momentarily they may seem to be of social benefit.You look again at your radio and television sets with all their bright possibilities for entertainment and education and you see with horror the spying eyes and ears they may become in every room of the house in the hands of people who have seized a government for the sake of power and power alone. You look again at your daily newspaper which disseminates facts or at the reports of statistical bureaus which plot and curve the rise and fall of national income population and employment and you suddenly realize that a newspaper or a statistical bureau in ruthless hands are entries to your brain - another possible instrument for the regimen of slavery.The slogans of the super-Party that governs the state in this story are: WAR IS PEACE and FREEDOM IS SLAVERY and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. Other products of a public-relations technique not so different from our own are a Hate Party a Hate Week and a rigorously enforced TWO MINUTES OF HATE period. Does this seem so remote after all in a world that contains populations inculcated with the creeds of Fascism or race superiority And does it seem so strange that the world of 1984 is divided into three great warring powers - Oceania Eastasia and Eurasia- and that these wars are constantly sustained without victories or defeats as an economic policy Have we not learned in our own civilization that there are no victories or defeats and that wars are all too effective economic instruments of inflationNineteen eighty-four is after all only thirty-five years off!"

1949170737London: Secker & Warburg 1949. It's a beautiful thing the destruction of words First edition in the scarcer red dust jacket. The first impression was issued in green and red dust jackets simultaneously; judging from surviving examples this was done in proportions of about two green to one red. Warning against totalitarianism in any guise Orwell's last book has exerted a monumental impact on the English language coining terms such as "doublethink" and "Big Brother". "No novel of the past century has had more influence than George Orwell's 1984. The title the adjectival form of the author's last name the vocabulary of the all-powerful party. It's almost impossible to talk about propaganda surveillance authoritarian politics or pervasions of truth without dropping a reference to 1984" Packer. Octavo.
