Synopsis
Para controlar todo no basta con apropiarse solo de la voluntad y de la conciencia de los individuos, hay que hacerse dueño de su lenguaje. 1984 es la metáfora del imaginario social del Siglo XX, descripción de un país carcelario y totalitario, donde encontramos al líder único cuya presencia es antes que nada una abstracción, la negación del individuo. Obra clásica de profunda vigencia.
Annotation
Examines different aspects of Orwell's anti-utopian classic, with a biographical sketch of the author and critical essays on this work.
Gale Research
To show that the wrongs of the Soviet state might occur in any society, he set his next novel in the England of the near future and eventually titled it Nineteen Eighty-Four. The book is so grim that some literary critics, noting Orwell's declining health, have surmised that it shows the collapse of his spirit. Arguably, however, it is a summation of themes and ideas from throughout his life and work.

November 03, 2009: I was a little skeptical when I had to read 1984 for my english class, but when i started reading it, I could not put this book down! The second part is pretty boring because it is a book inside of a book, but everything else is amazing! I would recommend it to anybody who likes books relating to what this world looks like today.
I Also Recommend: Fahrenheit 451, Fahrenheit 451, Fahrenheit 451.

October 04, 2009: 1984 is one of those books that goes beyond the purpose of being a novel, and it is indeed a reading that makes us reflect about human nature, self determination, love, freedom, and many other attributes that we think of as being intrinsic to the human nature. But in the other hand, it shows how the ambition for power could drive a few human beings into inflicting pain and suffering to other fellow humans. In contrast to the world in the nineteenth and eighteenth centuries, where resources were limited and availability of food and other products was limited, our current society has the potential to create a fair world, where no one has to undergo unnecessary suffering, starvation, and diseases, all of this because we have the means of production to provide for all human beings. Despite this fact, we still live in a world where social injustice is the rule, war is a permanent threat, and although at this point in history and human development human race should be striving for creating a peaceful world where all men and women are equal, and wars only a bad memory from the past, the reality is that not all humans are interested in doing what is right and good for society. Unfortunately, power and wealth are still concentrated in few hands, in the hands of people that could not care less for other humans. I think that the message that George Orwell wanted to deliver is that the society he illustrated in his novel could be the extreme where we could get if power is centralized and totalitarian, getting to the point where self determination and individual identity could abolished, which the party accomplished by alienation, fear and torture.
I recommend this book to everyone, regardless of political views, because values such as love, loyalty, friendship, justice, compassion, etc. are still the cornerstone of human developement.
