First Words


I'm launching a new kind of post where I bring you the first sentence of some great novels. Today's First Words belong to George Orwell, one of the true, undisputed giants.

From 1984, published in or around 1950, and considered by some to be one of the 100 most influential novels ever written.

"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."
