About the book
North Africa, 1943. A lone soldier in a stolen German uniform staggers into a British camp, the sole survivor of a failed infiltration. His name is not British—it is German, and he is a Jew who fled Berlin only to return to war, carrying vengeance in place of patriotism.
Brought to Sicily to recover, he is recruited into a new unit: X Troop. Its members are European Jews who escaped Hitler’s reach, only to be trained as commandos to strike back at the Reich. They are “lost boys,” fluent in the enemy’s tongue, burning with grief and rage.
Based on little-known true history, Steven Hartov’s The Last of the Seven is a lyrical, haunting novel of courage, vengeance, and sacrifice in World War II.

1984
Dystopian · Literary Fiction · Political Dystopia · Speculative Fiction
Our take
In 1984, George Orwell drops readers into a world where surveillance is constant, truth is whatever the state says it is, and even your own thoughts can get you killed. Winston Smith dares to remember, question, and reach for something real in a system built to crush individuality at every level. Bleak, intelligent, and way too relevant for comfort, this is the dystopian classic that keeps reminding everyone exactly why it became the dystopian classic.

About the book
75th ANNIVERSARY EDITION
“Orwell saw, to his credit, that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions. It is, above all, a way of asserting power.”—The New Yorker
In 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be.
Lionel Trilling said of Orwell’s masterpiece “1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. It is a fantasy of the political future, and like any such fantasy, serves its author as a magnifying device for an examination of the present.” Though the year 1984 now exists in the past, Orwell’s dystopian classic remains an urgent call for the individual willing to speak truth to power.
