1984: The Graphic Novel

Product Information

It does fit the tone, but sometimes did not tackle the complexities of what it was trying to explain. The visuals are simple, but hauntingly beautiful, possessing a rustic, psychedelic quality, and giving you the ever pervading feeling of the walls closing in on you. Winston, 39 years old, is an employee of the Outer Party in the Record Department in the Ministry of Truth ( Minitrue in Newspeak). You are the dead; and the only future you can look forwards to is the underside of das boot, forever crushing down on your head.

Through details such as the smell of the building and the electricity that has been rationed in preparation for Hate Week, we learn that the book takes place in a repressive society with few creature comforts. W kraju zniewolonym, w którym swoboda myśli jest przestępstwem, kłamstwo jedyną prawdą, a wojna czymś normlanym. Por otra parte, una de las formas de tener bien amarrá en corto a la población mediante la creación de la NEOLENGUA.Mister Orwell presents us with the world of three nations ( Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia) in which the 20th century is one long tragedy. Another of Orwell's creations for 1984 is Newspeak, a form of English that the book's totalitarian government utilizes to discourage free thinking. De 1984 ya está todo dicho, creo, y si me decidí por la novela gráfica es por pasárselo a un par de personas a las que con el texto original no hay forma, con dibujinos. In Room 101, O’Brien demonstrates a medieval torture device, a cage full of rats to be strapped to the prisoner’s face, playing on Winston’s fear of rats. Winston has suspected Julia is following him, and he views her with a mixture of desire and paranoia, so he expects the paper to reveal a warning or a coded threat from a Party spy.

Niestety nie czytałam jeszcze oryginału, ale po jej przeczytaniu wiem, że koniecznie muszę to nadrobić.Side note: This adaptation was originally published in Brazil with a translated text but has been republished in English drawing directly from Orwell's original text. Orwell believed that, without a word or words to express an idea, the idea itself was impossible to conceive and retain.
