描述

Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth in London, chief city of Airstrip One. Big Brother stares out from every poster and the Thought Police uncover each act of betrayal. When Winston finds love with Julia, he discovers that life does not have to be dull and deadening and awakens to new possibilities. Despite the police helicopters that hover and circle overhead, Winston and Julia begin to question the Party.

Yet Big Brother will not tolerate dissent even in the mind. For those with original thoughts, they invented Room 101.

The world-changing novel "1984" is George Orwell s terrifying vision of a totalitarian future in which everything and everyone is slave to a tyrannical regime. Christopher Eccleston, Tim Pigott-Smith, and Pippa Nixon star in this drama, adapted by Jonathan Holloway, part of BBC Radio 4 s Real George Orwell season."

I will never understand why people like this book. Or the other Orwellian "classic".Nothing about 1984 reads "prophetic" to me. It reads "This dude was obsessed with Stalin so he wrote down stuff Nazis were doing and called it communist" with a heavy dose of "Oh look, that's from Brave New World".It's a shame that Orwell didn't have the guts to finish this and find someone to publish it before WWII ended so it could fall into obscurity like it should have.There are so many interesting dystopian novels, some of which actually deserve the moniker "prophetic". This is not one of them.

Es un gran libro, con una trama increíble y una historia que logra atraparte. Sin embargo, siento que hacia el final se fue quedando un poco corto. El desenlace me pareció algo abrupto, como si simplemente hubiera que terminar la historia y ya. En mi opinión, le faltó un poco más de desarrollo y profundidad para cerrar todo lo que había construido a lo largo del libro.

Very well written, although a bit slow and not a subject I am really that attracted to. I really like the world building though.
