Official synopsis Publisher
Un clásico sobre los totalitarismos y la manipulación de la verdad de una vigencia escalofriante.
Una de las novelas más atractivas e inquietantes del siglo XX.
Londres, 1984: el Gran Hermano controla hasta el último detalle de la vida privada de los ciudadanos. Winston Smith trabaja en el Ministerio de la Verdad reescribiendo y retocando la historia para un estado totalitario que somete de forma despiadada a la población, hasta que siente que no quiere contribuir más a este sistema perverso y decide rebelarse.
Escrita en 1948, esta novela es una de las críticas más feroces que jamás haya recibido cualquier forma de totalitarismo. Los mecanismos de control de la sociedad orwelliana recuerdan a los del nazismo y el estalinismo, y su magnífico análisis del poder y de la manipulación de la información la convierten en una novela de una vigencia estremecedora.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever…
A startling and haunting novel, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions–a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.
