Our paper aims at regarding the manner in which the politics of a regime changed a tradition and imposed a new ideology - focusing on the dystopian totalitarian regime from George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four", the metafictional tribute-answer that Anthony Burgess gives to Orwell in his novel "1985" and on the reality from communist Romania of the 80's as it is reflected in I. D. Sarbu's anti-utopian novel "Adio, Europa!". Such an analysis aims at presenting the manner in which the traditional human values were abused (deleted, changed, censored) by an oligarchic system and the manner in which new totalitarian ideologies annulled tradition and individual identities.
