1984 - German
In April 1984, Winston Smith leads a dreary and dreary life in London, a gloomy city in the totalitarian state of Oceania, where everyone is constantly watched by Big Brother and every move and word is monitored by the thought police. Winston, a member of the outer party, spends his days rewriting history in the Ministry of Truth as the government decrees. Outwardly conformist, he harbors a deep hatred of the party and the regime because the gap between the propaganda he has to write every day and the reality he experiences is too great. Is he the only person in this state whose memory still works and who notices that the party manipulates everything in its favor? When he finds in Julia not only his great love but also a like-minded person, he plucks up the courage to join the secret organization of the Brotherhood with her, which is dedicated to destroying the party. But the ever-vigilant system tolerates no opposition, and total surveillance lurks even in supposedly safe places. Will he be threatened with the brainwashing or even vaporization that Big Brother has in store for dissidents and regime opponents? George Orwell's dystopia 1984 has lost none of its explosiveness and topicality, even more than 70 years after it was first published. His nightmarish vision of the totalitarian surveillance state of Oceania, in which people live under constant surveillance by an all-knowing government, is more relevant today than ever.
