NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR (ANNIVERSARY EDITION) - GE...

It was a bright cold day in April  and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith  his
chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind  slipped quickly through the
glass doors of Victory Mansions  though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust
from entering along with him. The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end
of it a coloured poster  too large for indoor display  had been tacked to the wall. It depicted
imply an enormous face  more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five  with a
heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. Winston made for the stairs. It was no
use trying the lift. Even at the best of times it was seldom working  and at present the
electric current was cut off during daylight hours. It was part of the economy drive in
preparation for Hate Week. The flat was seven flights up  and Winston  who was thirty-nine and
had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle  went slowly  resting several times on the way. On
each landing  opposite the lift-shaft  the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall.
It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you
move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU  the caption beneath it ran.
