Acid 1984

"What I wanted to do above all was to turn political writing into an art." – George Orwell. This is not another edition from 1984. It is probably the best that has been published in our country and you will understand it from the beginning, from the moment you take the book in your hands and touch its cover. Oxy Editions is enriching its Oxy Classics series, with a very important addition, that of the - perhaps - most famous book by George Orwell. 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 he was recognized as a major name in the field of prose. With his health deteriorating and experiencing the doldrums that followed the initial excitement after the end of World War II, Orwell envisioned a future where the lack of individual freedoms and government obligations are far removed from the basic rules of democracy, except but they are not disputed by almost anyone. A world where every human right has been violated and every concept of freedom and individuality is abolished. A world where Big Brother monitors everything through high-tech devices. A world where the war against an invisible enemy never ends, thoughts go underground, and any deviation from the dictates of the regime is mercilessly punished until it is "corrected". A world where the rulers have the power to change the past and deny the self-existence of reality, a world where language and its words change to keep up with the new facts... A verified dystopian vision in the form of a novel, in 1984, by ' these few works that precisely defined their century, still warns us more than seventy years after its publication that totalitarianism, with all its volume of illusions, knows no measure and no limits
