Glowing Reviews and Other Opinions
It is probable that no other work of this generation has made us desire freedom more earnestly or loathe tyranny with such fullness. 1984, the most contemporary novel of the year and who knows of now many past and to come, is a great examination into and dramatization of Lord Acton's famous apothegm, " power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. " - Mark Schorer - Books of the Century; New York Times review, June 1949
