Notes
Page from The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, in theory.
"The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, by Emmanuel Goldstein, is the fictional book that is a thematic and plot element integral to the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), by George Orwell. A large portion of Nineteen Eighty-Four is a reproduction of portions of the samizdat publication allegedly written by Emmanuel Goldstein and known simply as “The Book”, although its actual title is The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism."
