First two paragraphs of
Part 1, Chapter 1
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 simply 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.
