1984, escrito pelo britânico George Orwell, é um dos romances mais importantes da literatura inglesa e mundial. Foi escrito em 1948 e publicado no ano seguinte, após Segunda Guerra Mundial, poucos meses antes da morte do autor.

Desde sua publicação, esse texto de Orwell já foi traduzido em 65 países, virou minissérie, filme, mangás e até ópera, mas sem dúvida a indústria do audiovisual foi a que mais bebeu em sua fonte, com destaque para o reality show mais famoso da TV mundial: o Big Brother.

É considerado pela maioria dos especialistas como uma obra de referência para quem deseja refletir – ainda que a partir de um texto ficcional – sobre a essência de qualquer forma de poder totalitário.

Leitura envolvente, atual e que, independente de posicionamentos políticos, oferece oportunidade de boas discussões!

George Orwell nasceu Eric Arthur Blair, na Índia britânica, em 1903. O pseudônimo pelo qual ele se tornou universalmente conhecido foi adotado pelo autor em seu primeiro livro, Na Pior em Paris e Londres. Orwell alcançou notoriedade sobretudo por duas de suas obras: Revolução dos Bichos e 1984, ambas críticas ferrenhas a regimes autoritários e seus métodos de controle social. Hoje em dia, o termo orwelliano já se tornou de uso corrente, principalmente para adjetivar regimes e personalidades autoritárias. Sempre atento aos problemas sociais de seu tempo, Orwell adotou uma postura pró-socialista, mas sem jamais tomar uma postura sectária.

Work Description

Nineteen Eighty-Four: A Novel, often referred to as 1984, is a dystopian social science fiction novel by the English novelist George Orwell (the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair). It was published on 8 June 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwell's ninth and final book completed in his lifetime. Thematically, Nineteen Eighty-Four centres on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of persons and behaviours within society. Orwell, himself a democratic socialist, modelled the authoritarian government in the novel after Stalinist Russia. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within politics and the ways in which they are manipulated.
