Reseña: Written more than 70 years ago, 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... In 1984, London is a grim city
where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought
Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith toes
the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands
of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes,
Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its
own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit
thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself,
Winston can"t escape the fact that Big Brother is always
watching... 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.
