Synopsis "Subir a respirar (in Spanish)"

La novela de George Orwell que predijo la Segunda Guerra Mundial y sentó las bases imaginativas de Rebelión en la granja y 1984. A fines de los años treinta, el cuarentón George Bowling siente un arranque de nostalgia y decide escapar unos días de su realidad familiar. Tras ganar un dinero en una apuesta, se refugia en un hotelito del pueblo donde creció, con la idea de visitar los lugares de su infancia. Pero el idilio de la memoria pronto contrasta con la cara irreconocible del presente. Y entre sus impresiones no tarda en asomar el presagio de un conflicto que puede cambiarlo todo aún más. Redactada en 1938 y publicada en 1939, esta estupenda novela de George Orwell combina con maestría la comedia de costumbres y la anticipación política.

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.
