It is a six-part adaptation of the 1869 novel War and Peace by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy, written by Andrew Davies and directed by Tom Harper.

Orwell’s novel was published in 1949, when Nazism had just been defeated. It is meant to reference Communist parties, as in the case of the erstwhile Soviet Union or the Nazi party, officially called the National Socialist German Workers’ Party in Germany. The Party here refers to the only, supreme authority in which lies all power. Winston also, at times, changed information reported in newspapers retroactively, if it reflected badly on the Party. For instance, when it is revealed that the number of chocolate rations that would be available to citizens was lower than earlier, Winston’s ministry lies and says it was actually an achievement and an increase in quantity as compared to before. The ministries, despite their names, are involved in only maintaining the appearance of ideas like truth, love and abundance, while actually doing what is needed to keep questioning people at bay.
