Its 1984 and Julia Worthing works as a mechanic fixing the novel-writing machines in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. Under the ideology of IngSoc and the rule of the Party and its leader Big Brother, Julia is a model citizen - cheerfully cynical, believing in nothing and caring not at all about politics. She routinely breaks the rules but also collaborates with the regime whenever necessary. Everyone likes Julia. A diligent member of the Junior Anti-Sex League (though she is secretly promiscuous) she knows how to survive in a world of constant surveillance, Thought Police, Newspeak, Doublethink, child spies and the black markets of the prole neighbourhoods. Shes very good at staying alive. But Julia becomes intrigued by a colleague from the Records Department - a mid-level worker of the Outer Party called Winston Smith - when she sees him locking eyes with a superior from the Inner Party at the Two Minutes Hate. And when one day, finding herself walking toward Winston, she impulsively hands him a note - a potentially suicidal gesture - she comes to realise that shes losing her grip and can no longer safely navigate her world. Seventy-five years after Orwell finished writing his iconic novel, Sandra Newman has tackled the world of Big Brother in a truly convincing way, offering a dramatically different, feminist narrative that is true to and stands alongside the original. For the millions of readers who have been brought up with Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four, here, finally, is a provocative, vital and utterly satisfying companion novel.</p>...2102717Julia579579https://www.gandhi.com.mx/julia-23/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1956071/96b9ec62-ed97-4b05-8a56-63f5402da9c8.jpg?v=638345031427700000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20239781803511214_W3siaWQiOiI4N2E2MDQ2Ni0xOThjLTQ5YWYtOGNmOC1lYWU1NTE3MDEzYjMiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjU0OSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjAsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6NTQ5LCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNC0wOS0yNFQwOTowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlLCJpc0VsaWdpYmxlRm9yQ3JlZGl0VHJpYWwiOnRydWUsImNyZWRpdFB1cmNoYXNlUHJpY2UiOjF9XQ==9781803511214_<p>London, chief city of Airstrip One, the third most populous province of Oceania.
