IT WAS a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were strikingthirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in aneffort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glassdoors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent aswirl of gritty dust from entering along with him.
The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end ofit a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tackedto the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metrewide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy blackmoustache and ruggedly handsome features. Winston made for thestairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times itwas seldom working, and at present the electric current was cut offduring daylight hours. It was part of the economy drive inpreparation for Hate Week.
