"1984" is one of the most important and certainly the most important novel of the last century. It is difficult to recall any other literary work that would, without excessive manners, so clearly, truthfully and harshly pose such an important problem in general. Namely: what is power? What is its nature? Where is modern society heading? What is real death, and which death is real - the physical death of an individual, or the death of his inner being, while preserving the physical body? What is freedom, and how does it relate to power? Is it possible to manifest freedom, even in the form of the ability to have one's hidden thoughts, free from coercion, in conditions of absolute totalitarian power?
