Would be amazing to find first editions that the commies read in order to censor the book.

In the 1950s, Polish poet Czeslaw Miosz worked for the Communist government as a “cultural official.” When he read 1984 he was blown away by such an accurate depiction of life under communism written by someone who had never experienced it.
