Synopsis "1984 (in Spanish)"

"Mil novecientos ochenta y cuatro" (1949) es un título capital de la literatura distópica y uno de los referentes centrales de las corrientes estéticas, culturales y de pensamiento de nuestro tiempo. La novela de George Orwell reproduce, en clave de sátira, un probable escenario global en guerra permanente, donde los grandes sistemas totalitarios manipulan la historia y la educación de la humanidad para controlar las vidas, los pensamientos y hasta los sueños de sus ciudadanos. Su protagonista es Winston Smith, un funcionario del Ministerio de la Verdad que se dedica a reescribir el pasado, siguiendo las consignas del Partido, mientras crece interiormente su deseo de libertad y su rebeldía contra la asfixia social y la obediencia ciega imperantes. La obra maestra de Orwell, además, hace del lenguaje uno de sus temas centrales y ha insertado en el imaginario contemporáneo palabras y expresiones tan habituales como "doblepensar" o "gran hermano".

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.
