I think Orwell' book 1984 is in conversation with an early attempt to depict a totalitarian way of life: It is Zamyatin's Miy. (Us) I highly recommend Zamyatin's book in order to clarify that Orwell's distopia is not unique and also not the first written one. <br>In addition, Burgess in his "1985" clearly interpret the motives of Orwell for the choice of plot and characters, geography, subject of "1984." Ironic side of narration of Orwell is clarified with the excellent work of Burgess...
