{"product_id":"1984-9781918396119","title":"1984: Prologue by Neil Oliver","description":"George Orwell's 1984 remains one of the most important and influential novels ever written.   Its themes of censorship, surveillance, propaganda, the manipulation of language and the erosion of objective truth have lost none of their power. In an age of mass data collection, digital censorship, algorithmic control and growing pressure to conform, Orwell's vision feels more relevant than ever.   This special Free Speech Press edition features a prologue by Neil Oliver, who retraces Orwell's final years on the remote island of Jura, where, gravely ill, he completed his enduring warning to future generations. Oliver explores the extraordinary circumstances in which the novel was written and considers why its vision of surveillance, propaganda and concentrated power carries renewed urgency today.   More than seventy-five years after its publication, 1984 remains a powerful defence of freedom of thought and speech, reminding us that preserving liberty requires the courage to question power, resist conformity and continue seeking the truth.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29 July 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePage count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 344\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 203 mm; Width 127 mm; Thickness 22 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fisher King Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781918396119\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"George Orwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50169796591866,"sku":"9781918396119","price":7.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/9781918396119.jpg?v=1787609993","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/1984-9781918396119","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
