Synopsis "1984 (in Spanish)"

'El Hermano Mayor te vigila', advierten los carteles que cubren las paredes de Londres. La libertad de expresión ha desaparecido y a los ciudadanos de un 'lugar que alguna vez fue llamado Inglaterra' no se les permite ejercer el pensamiento crítico. Se habla entre susurros, fingiendo las expresiones, y se vive con un temor constante a la Policía del Pensamiento. En ese contexto, Winston Smith, funcionario del Ministerio de la Verdad, recibe el encargo de reescribir algunos pasajes de la historia para fijar el relato que resulta más conveniente a las ambiciones del Partido. Sin embargo, esa tarea destinada a perpetuar un régimen totalitario logrará precisamente que el protagonista ya no pueda asumir sin planteamientos críticos esa gran farsa y pretenda escapar del control omnisciente de la maquinaria del Estado. En 1984, George Orwell nos traslada a una distopía inspirada por el nazismo y el estalinismo. Considerada unánimemente como uno de los grandes hitos de la literatura política y de la ciencia ficción, esta novela es una lúcida reflexión sobre los mecanismos de control social y una brillante advertencia sobre los totalitarismos.

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.
