The Thought Police, Doublethink, Newspeak, Big Brother 1984 itself: these terms and concepts have moved from the world of fiction into our everyday lives. They are central to our thinking about freedom and its suppression; yet they were newly created by George Orwell in 1949 as he conjured his dystopian vision of a world where totalitarian power is absolute. In this novel, continuously popular since its first publication, readers can explore the dark and extraordinary world he brought so fully to life. The principal characters who lead us through that world are ordinary human beings like ourselves: Winston Smith and Julia, whose falling in love is also an act of rebellion against the Party. Opposing them are the massed powers of the state, which watches its citizens on all sides through technology now only too familiar to us. No-one is free from surveillance; the past is constantly altered, so that there is no truth except the most recent version; and Big Brother, both loved and feared, controls all. Even the simple act of keeping a diary as Winston does is punishable by death. In Winstons battle to keep his freedom of thought, he has a powerful adversary in OBrien, who uses fear and pain to enter his very thought processes. Does 2+2 = 4? Or is it 5? We find out in Room 101. Nineteen Eighty-Four was Orwells last novel; but the world he created is always with us, as successive generations of readers find within it a mirror for their own times and a warning for the future.

Unappassionante storia di coraggio ed emancipazione femminile ambientata in un paesino del Sud tra gli anni 30 e gli anni 60. Salento, giugno 1934. Nella piazza principale di Lizzanello, dove vivono poche migliaia di anime, si ferma un autobus da cui scende una coppia, Carlo e Anna. Carlo, figlio del Sud emigrato al Nord, e contento di essere tornato a casa, mentre Anna ha uno sguardo pensieroso e preoccupato perche sa di essere arrivata in una terra che non le appartiene. Anna e quella diversa, e la forestiera che non si adatta alle regole che imprigionano le donne del Sud: non va in chiesa, dice sempre quello che pensa ed e determinata a vivere la sua vita senza condizionamenti. Trascorso un anno dal suo arrivo, Anna fa qualcosa di impensabile ed estremamente rivoluzionario: si iscrive al concorso per entrare alle Poste. Una postina donna non si e mai vista in paese, ma Anna sorprende tutti, vince il concorso e inizia a lavorare come portalettere. La notizia stravolge Lizzanello e fa storcere il naso a tutti quei pettegoli, uomini e donne, che dicono che Anna non durera. Anna lavorera invece per ventanni consegnando lettere, cartoline e messaggi. Diventera un filo invisibile che unisce le vite di tutti i paesani e inconsciamente - ma soprattutto senza che nessuno lo voglia - cambiera molte cose. Accanto ad Anna, in tutti questi anni, il fedele marito Carlo che non ha mai smesso di sostenerla e amarla, e Antonio, fratello inseparabile di Carlo, innamorato di lei da sempre. A fare da sfondo alle vicende della famiglia Greco e di Anna, gli eventi drammatici della Seconda Guerra Mondiale e i movimenti femministi.
