George Orwell's dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative has never been more essential reading. Winston Smith obeys the Party, rewriting history at the Ministry of Truth. But increasingly, Winston grows to hate the persecution of those who commit Thoughtcrime. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can't escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching... This 75th anniversary edition contains reproduced facsimile pages from Orwell's original manuscript, and a new introduction by Sandra Newman, author of the Sunday Times bestselling Julia.
A tale of passion and romance between a Japanese schoolteacher and a doglike man, from the prize-winning author of The Last Children of TokyoMitsuko, a schoolteacher at the Kitamura school, inspires both rumour and curiosity in the parents of her students because of her unconventional manner - not least when she tells the children the fable of a princess whose hand in marriage is promised to a dog she is intimate with. And when a young man with sharp canine teeth turns up at the schoolteacher's home and declares he's 'here to stay', the romantic - and sexual - relationship that develops intrigues the community, some of whom have suspicions about the man's identity and motives. Masterfully turning the rules of folklore and fable on their head, The Bridegroom Was a Dog is a disarming and unforgettable modern classic.
