“What I wanted to do above all was to turn political writing into an art.” - George Orwell
This is not just another edition of 1984. It is perhaps the best one that has been published in our country, and you will understand this from the very start, from the moment you hold the book in your hands and touch its cover. Oxy Editions enrich their Oxy Classics series with a highly significant addition, that of George Orwell's most famous – perhaps – book.
1984 (original title: The Last Man in Europe) was the first book he wrote after the death of his wife, Eileen, and the only one after his recognition as a great name in the field of prose. With his health deteriorating and experiencing the disillusionment that followed the initial enthusiasm after the end of World War II, Orwell conceived a future where the lack of individual freedoms and governmental obligations starkly contrasts with the fundamental principles of Democracy, yet are scarcely questioned by anyone.
A world where every human right has been violated and every notion of freedom and individuality has been abolished. A world where Big Brother watches everything through advanced technology devices. A world where the war against an invisible enemy never ends, thoughts are criminalized, and any deviation from the regime's mandates is ruthlessly punished until it is "corrected." A world where the rulers have the power to alter the past and deny the self-evidence of reality, a world where language and its words change to keep pace with the new data…
A verified dystopian vision in the form of a novel, 1984 is one of those rare works that accurately defined its century, still warns us seventy years after its publication that totalitarianism, along with all its delusions, knows no bounds and does not definitively belong to the past.
