Description

The totalitarian regime of Big Brother, constantly monitoring everyone and everything through countless interactive screens, exercises absolute control over actions and consciences.
Everything is adapted to the one and only truth, that which the Party preaches, the only infallible mechanism, whose personification is Big Brother. Everything, even the past, whoever controls the past controls the future, and whoever controls the present controls the past.
Thoughtcrime is the mortal sin. Therefore, anything that leads to its commission must be eradicated: freedom, language, human feelings. And whoever commits thoughtcrime must be led to death reformed: they will die loving Big Brother.
When Orwell wrote his book, 1984 was the future. Today it is the past. But, after this work, the real 1984 will always be a year of the future, the first of a bleak millennium that threatens human history.
One of the greatest books of the twentieth century, 1984 was read as a manifesto and admired as a prophecy. Its nightmarish truth about the state of deadly terror is just one step away from becoming reality: Big Brother is already watching us.

    A book that everyone should read, I believe. I highly recommend it. Reading it might make you think about today, how free are we while holding a mobile phone in our hand and sharing everything on social media? Are we living in an era where Big Brother is watching everything? (I'm asking some questions, I'm not being paranoid)

    A book that has remained in history. It immerses you in how timeless human nature is, gives you lessons, and constantly reminds you of the value of freedom and how important it is.

    Very nice book and it creates magical images in your mind. I think it gets tiring at some points because the book has a lot of detail. Unfortunately, I haven't read many books, so my opinion doesn't carry much weight. It's fantastic how the human mind can "get confused" and be manipulated so easily, and how relevant the book is after so many years since it was written.

    The content of the book is fantastic. Unfortunately, it has been poorly printed by the publisher and on many pages, there are many erased words. I would recommend getting it from another publisher.

    Current even though it has been written so many years ago.

    (Everything is adjusted to the one and only truth, the one that the Party advocates)

    A book that can definitely give you chills if you think about everything it writes, we experience today. Strong plot... food for thought. I recommend it.

    I had heard many good things about the book and decided to get it even though it was not at all in the style of books I usually read. It was well-written but it didn't captivate me particularly. I will read Animal Farm at some point

    A classic book that will always be relevant. It manages to remind us how non-negotiable our freedoms are today, and how important it is to be vigilant and preserve them. I highly recommend it to any reader over the age of about 15. Essential for a conscious modern citizen.

    It's worth it! For someone who is reading it as their first book, I don't recommend starting with something heavier. Perfect for beginners

    A prophetic story that is worth reading. A (almost) manifesto against totalitarian regimes.
    Disruptive and captivating. The reader can find many similarities with today's society in a book written in the 30s.
