Fin dalla sua pubblicazione nel 1948, la terrificante visione di George Orwell di un regime totalitario in cui il Grande Fratello controlla i suoi cittadini come 'uno stivale che calpesta un volto umano' è diventata una pietra di paragone per la libertà umana e uno dei libri più letti al mondo. In questa nuova edizione annotata, il biografo di Orwell, DJ Taylor, chiarisce il significato completo di questa satira senza tempo, spiegando i riferimenti contemporanei nel romanzo, inserendolo nel contesto della vita di Orwell, elaborando il suo straordinario uso del linguaggio e spiegando termini come Neolingua, Bipensiero e Stanza 101 che sono diventati frasi familiari oggi. Questa è l'edizione essenziale del libro essenziale dei tempi moderni.

Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia.
Ever since its publication in 1948, George Orwell's terrifying vision of a totalitarian regime where Big Brother controls its citizens like 'a boot stamping on a human face' has become a touchstone for human freedom, and one of the most widely-read books in the world. In this new annotated edition Orwell's biographer D. J. Taylor elucidates the full meaning of this timeless satire, explaining contemporary references in the novel, placing it in the context of Orwell's life, elaborating on his extraordinary use of language and explaining the terms such as Newspeak, Doublethink and Room 101 that have become familiar phrases today. This is the essential edition of the essential book of modern times.
