商品簡介
The author is an independent scholar and writer based in Australia. In this study she focuses on Britain, the US, France, and Australia. For each country she offers a socio-political overview of events and opinions prior to 1948, when Orwell's 1984 brought the concept of Big Brother into the world's consciousness. Then, in each chapter, she presents close readings of six novels published after Orwell's work, focusing on the themes of nihilism and morality.
