"The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still the great modern classic of "negative utopia"â "a startlingly original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitionsâ "a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time. --back cover".

"De tous les carrefours importants, le visage à la moustache noire vous fixait du regard.

C'était une patrouille qui venait mettre le nez aux fenêtres des gens. Mais les patrouilles n'avaient pas d'importance. Seule comptait la Police de la Pensée.".

Hardcover_boards. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition Thus. 1.36" H x 8.43" L x 5.9" W (1.14 lbs) 400 pages. 45th Printing. Features: Excerpt, Ikids, Price on Product. Target Age Group: 14 and up. Wrapped in mylar. Secure ship w/track #. This edition features George Orwell's best known novels - 1984 and Animal Farm - with an introduction by Christopher Hitchens. Animal Farm: A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned -a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell's masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh. 1984: Among the seminal texts of the 20th century, Nineteen Eighty-Four is a rare work that grows more haunting as its futuristic purgatory becomes more real. Published in 1949, the book offers political satirist George Orwell's nightmarish vision of a totalitarian, bureaucratic world and one poor stiff's attempt to find individuality. The brilliance of the novel is Orwell's prescience of modern lifeâ "the ubiquity of television, the distortion of the languageâ "and his ability to construct such a thorough version of hell. Required reading for students since it was published, it ranks among the most terrifying novels ever written.

Softcover. Condition: New. Scafati, Luis (illustrator). 1a.ed. en esta colección. 240x165 mm. 360 p., Rústica con solapas. Sprache: Spanisch, il. b/n. NUEVO / NEU / NEW. La primera edición ilustrada en castellano de la novela 1984 llega a las librerías con las descarnadas estampas del artista argentino Luis Scafati, que se supera a sí mismo para ofrecer uno de sus trabajos más impactantes de los últimos tiempos. Escrita en 1948, esta obra presenta una crítica lúcida y demoledora de los regímenes totalitarios, con indudables resonancias diacrónicas. Estamos ante un manifiesto de nuestros tiempos, un clásico que percute con fuerza renovada en este presente en el que somos esclavos de la tecnología, de las fake news y de un puñado de gigantescas corporaciones. La novela, ambientada en un Londres distópico de 1948, narra cómo el Partido domina y controla de forma asfixiante la vida de los ciudadanos, haciendo uso del Gran Hermano, el omnipresente ojo censurador, y de la Policía del Pensamiento, el brazo que tortura y aniquila a todo aquel que sea disidente. «Quien controla el pasado controla el futuro. Quien controla el presente controla el pasado.» 1984 es, junto con Rebelión en la granja, también publicada por nuestro sello, la más célebre e impactante novela de George Orwell. Ambas han logrado trascender la crítica puntual hacia la cual orientaban sus cañones cuando fueron concebidas: los regímenes totalitarismos de Hitler y Stalin. Imprescindible para jóvenes y adultos, este libro es considerado como uno de los más leídos e influyentes desde que se publicara en 1949. *** 10% DESCUENTO/RABATT/DISCOUNT ¡Black Friday - Black Finde! * 22,50 (reduced from 25,00 ) ***.

Condition: new. Traduzione di Manferlotti S. Prima edizione 2002. Segrate, 2016; br., pp. XII-321, cm 13x20. (Oscar Moderni). L'azione si svolge in un futuro prossimo del mondo (l'anno 1984) in cui il potere si concentra in tre immensi superstati: Oceania, Eurasia ed Estasia. Al vertice del potere politico in Oceania c'è il Grande Fratello, onnisciente e infallibile, che nessuno ha visto di persona ma di cui ovunque sono visibili grandi manifesti. Il Ministero della Verità, nel quale lavora il personaggio principale, Smith, ha il compito di censurare libri e giornali non in linea con la politica ufficiale, di alterare la storia e di ridurre le possibilità espressive della lingua. Per quanto sia tenuto sotto controllo da telecamere, Smith comincia a condurre un'esistenza "sovversiva". Scritto nel 1949, il libro è considerato una delle più lucide rappresentazioni del totalitarismo.

"1984 ist eines meiner Lieblingsbücher, ich lese es immer und immer wieder." Margaret Atwood. Wenige Bücher der Weltliteratur haben sowohl beim Lesepublikum als auch in der Presse in den letzten Jahren mehr Aufmerksamkeit erfahren als George Orwells Dystopie über den modernen totalitären Staat. Der Ereignisse, die Anlass geben, auf die Aktualität dieses Klassikers hinzuweisen, gibt es zahlreiche: Edward Snowdens NSA-Enthüllungen, Donald Trumps Umgang mit Fakten, Putins Russland oder die Gier der Tech-Konzerne nach User-Daten. Auch im 21. Jahrhundert ist die Lektüre dieses Romans drängender denn je. Wie gut, dass diese nun in neuer Form geschehen kann. Fido Nesti hat mit seiner Graphic Novel von 1984 ein düsteres Meisterwerk geschaffen, hat Orwells beklemmenden Text in Bilder von großer hypnotischer Kraft umgesetzt und für die klaustrophobische Realität eines allmächtigen Überwachungsstaats eine unheilvolle Bildsprache gefunden. Ein ästhetisches Erlebnis in Grau und Rot. "Kein Vorwissen bereitet den Leser darauf vor, wie real sich diese Schreckensfantasie anfühlt." Daniel Kehlmann FIDO NESTI wurde 1971 in Sao Paulo, Brasilien, geboren und ist ein autodidaktischer Künstler, der seit über dreißig Jahren mit Illustration und Comics arbeitet. Er zeichnet für verschiedene amerikanische Magazine wie The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Playboy, Runner's World und CULT, außerdem ist er Autor mehrerer Graphic Novels und gestaltet Gover von Büchern für verschiedene Verlage, darunter Companhia das Letras. Er illustrierte die Graphic Novels Os Lusíadas em quadrinhos (Peirópolis, 2006) und A Máquína de Goldberg (Quadrinhos na Cia., 2012). Wahrend seiner Schulzeit entdeckte er 1984, und seine Besessenheit für diese dystopische Welt, die der brasilianischen Realität von heute unschön nahekommt, wird ihn nie verlassen." (Verlagstext) 1984 ist ein dystopischer Roman von George Orwell (eigentlich Eric Arthur Blair), geschrieben von 1946 bis 1948 und erschienen im Juni 1949, in dem ein totalitärer Überwachungs- und Präventionsstaat im Jahre 1984 dargestellt wird. Protagonist der Handlung ist Winston Smith, ein einfaches Mitglied der Partei, das sich den widrigen Umständen zum Trotz seine Privatsphäre sichern will. Dadurch gerät er in Konflikt mit dem System, das ihn einer Gehirnwäsche unterzieht. Orwell begann mit der Verfassung des Buches während seines Aufenthaltes auf der Insel Jura vor der Küste Schottlands, im Jahr 1946 und stellte es Ende 1948 fertig, etwas mehr als ein Jahr vor seinem Tod (1950). Der Titel enthält den Zahlendreher des Jahres 1948 zu 1984 als Anspielung auf eine damals sehr fern erscheinende Zukunft. Die Erstausgabe kam in London am 8. Juni 1949 im Buchhandel in den Verkauf. Im Jahre 1984 werden kritische Gedanken, so genannte Gedankenverbrechen, die die Doktrin des fiktiven Staates Ozeanien in Frage stellen, als Staatsverbrechen behandelt. Das erklärte Ziel der herrschenden totalitären Partei ist, durch die Einführung einer neuen Sprache (Neusprech genannt), durch ständige Verfälschung der Geschichte und durch totale Kontrolle und Bedrohung den Bürgern die Möglichkeiten zu entziehen, Gedankenverbrechen zu begehen.

The story takes place in an imagined future, the year 1984, when much of the world has fallen victim to perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and propaganda. Great Britain, known as Airstrip One, has become a province of the totalitarian superstate Oceania, ruled by the Party, who employ the Thought Police to persecute individuality and independent thinking. Big Brother, the dictatorial leader of Oceania, enjoys an intense cult of personality, manufactured by the party's excessive brainwashing techniques. The protagonist, Winston Smith, is a diligent and skillful rank-and-file worker and Outer Party member who secretly hates the Party and dreams of rebellion. He enters into a forbidden relationship with his colleague Julia and starts to remember what life was like before the Party came to power. A clean very presentable copy.
