  1. 1984 begins with the famous line: "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."

    I was 13 in the year 1973 when I first read this book. It had a huge impact on my perception on authority and privacy.

  2. Hello Miss Miriam:
    We have always enjoyed Orwell. Sadly we were not perceptive enough as babies in the pram to purchase 1984 as a First Edition.

  3. J and L: Orwell kept changing the title to one year more cuz it was taking years to write.
