Nineteen Eighty-Four

by George Orwell

A clerk whose job is editing the past starts keeping a private thought.

Winston Smith revises old newspapers for the Ministry of Truth in a state that monitors everything and rewrites what it cannot control. His affair and his diary are both acts of resistance, and the novel is unsparing about how they end.
