Together with Animal Farm (also available in our collection), 1984 is George Orwell's most famous and influential novel. Both books have transcended the particular targets they were gunning for at the time of their conception. Written in 1948, this work denounces the totalitarian regimes of Hitler and Stalin. However, both the political propaganda by Big Brother --the censoring eye--and the Party's control over the population have diachronic resonances. It is a classic that resonates, with renovated force, in our present when we are slaves to technology as well as to an all-powerful elite. Luis Scafati outdoes himself here to offer one of his most lucid, critical, and impactful works in recent times.
