Description: The Ministry of Truth by Dorian Lynskey Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In The Ministry of Truth, Dorian Lynskey charts the life of George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four: one of the most influential books of the 20th Century, a perennial bestseller, and a work that remains more relevant than ever in todays tumultuous world. Publisher Description 1984 isnt just a novel; its a key to understanding the modern world. George Orwells final work is a treasure chest of ideas and memes - Big Brother, the Thought Police, Doublethink, Newspeak, 2+2=5 - that gain potency with every year. Particularly in 2016, when the election of Donald Trump made it a bestseller (Ministry of Alternative Facts, anyone?). Its influence has morphed endlessly into novels (The Handmaids Tale), films (Brazil), television shows (V for Vendetta), rock albums (Diamond Dogs), commercials (Apple), even reality TV (Big Brother).The Ministry of Truth by Dorian Lynskey is the first book that fully examines the epochal and cultural event that is 1984 in all its aspects: its roots in the utopian and dystopian literature that preceded it; the personal experiences in wartime Britain that Orwell drew on as he struggled to finish his masterpiece in his dying days; and the political and cultural phenomena that the novel ignited at once upon publication and that far from subsiding, have only grown over the decades. It explains how fiction history informs fiction and how fiction explains history. Author Biography Dorian Lynskey has been writing about music, film and politics for over 20 years for a huge number of titles, from the Guardian to Rolling Stone. His first book, 33 Revolutions Per Minute: A History Of Protest Song, was published in the UK by Faber & Faber and by Ecco/HarperCollins in the States.
