Synopsis "1984 (in Spanish)"

1984 es la novela que tritura la capacidad de pensamiento crí tico y emocional inherente a la condició n humana. De las cenizas de la subjetividad, se expande lo inasible. Y lo inasible se vuelve dominante. Estimado lector: el Gran Hermano abre su ojo. Y lo acompañ a a que ingrese en la trama de su omnipresente y cruel mecanismo, mientras Winston Smith, el desdichado protagonista, se desliza rá pidamente hacia su perdició n. Durante los añ os de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Orwell comienza a pensar e imaginar en clave de ficció n los mecanismos que estructuran el universo totalitario: las té cnicas de vigilancia y control que imperan en las sociedades modernas. Empieza a darle forma y contenido a lo que luego se denominarí a como orwelliano: un mundo pesadillesco donde el Gran Hermano todo lo vigila, domina y destruye.

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.
