Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is presented through excerpts showcasing the dystopian society's totalitarian control. The text depicts the Party's manipulation of history, language (Newspeak), and individual thought through propaganda like the Two Minutes Hate. Winston Smith's rebellion, including his diary entries and forbidden relationship with Julia, highlights the Party's suppression of individuality and freedom. The excerpts also explore the Party's methods of maintaining power: constant surveillance, thoughtcrime, and the systematic destruction of the past. Ultimately, the passages demonstrate the devastating impact of totalitarianism on human experience and the resilience of the human spirit.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
