One of a series of fiction titles for schools, this is Orwell's classic novel in which every aspect of life is controlled by the State. Winston Smith thinks he's alone in remembering an earlier time when men and women lived by instincts and loved with passion, but then he meets Julia.
Editorial : Among the seminal texts of the 20th century, Nineteen Eighty-Four is a rare work that grows more haunting as its futuristic purgatory becomes more real.

The brilliance of the novel is Orwell's prescience of modern life--the ubiquity of television, the distortion of the language--and his ability to construct such a thorough version of hell. Required reading for students since it was published, it ranks among the most terrifying novels ever written.

The Foreward; "A Disease Able to Affect the Economies of Nations", by Hillary Johnson, says it well. You get 6 tapes and I am not exagerating in the least, they all say the same thing over and over and over. I have read many books that discuss the benefits of developing a relationship with your Inner Child. I was considering the possibility of visiting an acupuncturist when I discovered this
