Synopsis "1984 (in Spanish)"

Winston Smith es empleado del Ministerio de la Verdad. Su tarea es la de reescribir los archivos del pasado para que coincidan con la versión dictada por el gobierno actual. Esa versión es una verdad impuesta por el Gran Hermano, que controla y vigila constantemente a cada uno de los habitantes; empobreciendo sus pensamientos, lavándoles el cerebro, incitándolos a denunciar todo y creando miedo permanente. A Winston, atrapado en esa asfixiante existencia, cada vez le cuesta más creer las mentiras del mundo que lo rodea y decide rebelarse, aun sabiendo que la Policía del Pensamiento tambien esta acechando en todo momento. Esta inquietante novela de George Orwell describe una oscura sociedad totalitaria, en donde no hay posibilidad de solidaridad, rebeldía o amor, y la verdad siempre es manipulada solo para satisfacer los intereses de unos pocos. 1984 no solo es un exquisito análisis del poder y de la importancia de la libertad, es también una obra maestra que supo encontrar su lugar entre la selectiva literatura del siglo XX.

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.
