Synopsis "1984 (in Spanish)"

Una de las novelas m s atractivas e inquietantes del sigloXX.

Londres, 1984: el Gran Hermano controla hastael £ltimo detalle de la vida privada de los ciudadanos. Winston Smithtrabaja en el Ministerio de la Verdad reescribiendo y retocando lahistoria para un estado totalitario que somete de forma despiadada ala poblaci¢n, hasta que siente que no quiere contribuir m s a estesistema perverso y decide rebelarse.

Escrita en 1948,esta novela es una de las cr¡ticas m s feroces que jam s haya recibido cualquier forma de totalitarismo. Los mecanismos de control de lasociedad orwelliana recuerdan a los del nazismo y el estalinismo, y su magn¡fico an lisis del poder y de la manipulaci¢n de la informaci¢nla convierten en una novela de una vigencia estremecedora.

Eric Arthur Blair (Motihari, British Raj, June 25, 1903-London, United Kingdom, January 21, 1950), known by his pen name George Orwell, was a British novelist, journalist, essayist, and critic born in India, author among other works of the dystopian novels Animal Farm (1945) and 1984 (1949)

His work bears the mark of autobiographical experiences lived by the author in three stages of his life: his position against British imperialism which led him to commit as a representative of the colonial law enforcement forces in Burma during his youth; in favor of democratic socialism, after having observed and suffered the living conditions of the working social classes in London and Paris; and against Nazi and Stalinist totalitarianisms after his participation in the Spanish Civil War, on the Republican side

In addition to being a chronicler, literary critic, and novelist, he is one of the most prominent essayists in the English language of the 1930s and 1940s. He is also known for his criticisms of totalitarianism in his allegorical short novel Animal Farm (1945) and his dystopian novel 1984 (1949), written in his last years of life and published shortly before his death, in which he creates the concept of "Big Brother," which has since entered the common language of criticism of modern surveillance techniques.
