Nineteen Eighty-Four was published in London on Wednesday, June 8, 1949, and in New York five days later. The world was eager for it.

Sir John Hurt has passed away at the age of 77, leaving behind an insurmountable body of work spanning six decades. In many ways, Hurt could be deemed the ultimate character actor - a versatile performer who possessed the ability to transform every project he found himself associated with be it on stage, television or film.

Respected British actor John Hurt has died aged 77, after battles with cancer and other health issues. His most recent role was a priest in the Oscar-nomnated film Jackie, about the widow of President John F. Kennedy.

Part 1 Ch. VIII- Winston goes into a pub in the prole district and tries to talk to an old man about life before the Party, but the old man doesn’t remember.

The owner of the store, Mr. Charrington, shows Winston the room above his store that has no telescreen. Winston thinks about renting the room for privacy. While walking home, Winston sees the dark haired girl.
