1984 – AUDIO BOOK

"What I wanted to do above all was to turn political writing into an art."

– George Orwell

This is not another version of it 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 hold the book in your hands and touch its cover.

The Acid Publications enrich the series Acid Classics them, with one very important addition, that of the -perhaps- best-known book by George Orwell. That 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 prose. With his health deteriorating and experiencing the doldrums that followed the initial excitement after the end of World War II, the Orwell he envisioned a future where the lack of individual freedoms and government obligations are far removed from the basic rules of Democracy, but are hardly contested by anyone.

A world where every human right has been violated and every concept of freedom and individuality is abolished. A world where the Big Brother monitors everything through advanced technology 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...

Verified dystopian vision in novel form, the 1984, one of the few works that accurately defined their century, continues to warn us more than seventy years after its release that totalitarianism, with all its mass of illusions, knows no measure and bounds, nor is it definitively a thing of the past .
