Description: He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.Here we offer the first retail edition, stated fourth printing, of the classic novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell, published by Orwell's original publisher, Secker & Warburg, London, in 1950. The book comes wrapped in a newly-remastered facsimile of its original, first edition dust jacket, red variant, that you can only get here, printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers. Also included is a modern reprinted copy of Lionel Trilling's June 10, 1949 review of Nineteen Eighty-Four for the New Yorker Magazine.Columbia's Radcliffe Publishing School has listed Nineteen Eighty-Four as #3 on its list of the 20th century's greatest books. Worn and sunned board edges and spine (please see pics.) Intact endpages bear a period inscription. Very tight and square binding; very clean, bright and crisp text. Dust jacket comes sleeved in pH-neutral Mylar, ready to slip into your collection.This iconic first will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a very thoughtful gift.
