The cover of the latest version of George Orwell’s 1984 is censored
George Orwell’s 1984 has become the defacto cultural reference to the big brother of government and top-down censorship. Now publisher Penguin has had the front cover of the book redesigned by David Pearson, with the author’s name and the title almost completely redacted or censored, with the text only legible as it is embossed, making Penguin the “Ministry of Truth” described in the book.
Pearson has also redesigned Orwell’s four other books, including Animal Farm, which are all out now.
George Orwell – 1984
George Orwell – Animal Farm
George Orwell – Down and Out in Paris and London
George Orwell – Homage to Catalonia
George Orwell – Politics and the English Language
