Nineteen Eighty-Four 1984 - George Orwell

Description

Book in Italian

Oscar Mondadori

The action takes place in a near future world (the year 1984) in which power is concentrated in three immense superstates: Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia. At the top of political power in Oceania is Big Brother, omniscient and infallible, whom no one has seen in person but of whom large posters are visible everywhere. The Ministry of Truth, in which the main character, Smith, works, has the task of censoring books and newspapers not in line with official policy, altering history and reducing the expressive possibilities of the language. Although he is monitored by cameras, Smith begins to lead a "subversive" existence. Written in 1949, the book is considered one of the most lucid representations of totalitarianism.
