George Orwell - 1984
Signet Giant S798, 1954 (11th printing)
Cover Artist: Alan Harmon

"A startling view of life in 1984... forbidden love... fear... betrayal"

1984 Quote:
"She was a bold-looking girl of about twenty-seven, with thick dark hair, a freckled face, and swift, athletic movements. A narrow scarlet sash, emblem of the Junior Anti-Sex League, was wound several times around the waist of her overalls, just tightly enough to bring out the shapeliness of her hips."
