Manuscript of the novel 1984
The manuscript of George Orwell's 1984 became our collection object in June this year on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition "1984: George Orwell and Czechoslovakia". It was donated to the Museum by Quentin Kopp, President of The Orwell Society, and he added a personal dedication. The book was published in a limited edition of one thousand copies and is therefore a valuable collector's item. The foreword was written by D. J. Taylor, who has written several books on Orwell's life (the most recent of which is entitled Orwell: The New Life).
