The first illustrated Spanish-language edition of the novel 1984 hits bookstores with the stark prints of Argentine artist Luis Scafati, who surpasses himself to offer one of his most striking works of recent times. Written in 1948, this work presents a lucid and devastating critique of totalitarian regimes, with undeniable diachronic resonances. This is a manifesto of our times, a classic that resonates with renewed force in this present, where we are slaves to technology, fake news, and a handful of gigantic corporations. The novel, set in a dystopian London of 1948, narrates how the Party dominates and suffocatingly controls the lives of its citizens, making use of Big Brother, the omnipresent censoring eye, and the Thought Police, the arm that tortures and annihilates all dissidents. "Whoever controls the past controls the future. Whoever controls the present controls the past." 1984 is, along with Animal Farm, also published by our imprint, George Orwell's most celebrated and powerful novel. Both have managed to transcend the specific criticism they were aimed at when they were conceived: the totalitarian regimes of Hitler and Stalin. Essential for young people and adults alike, this book is considered one of the most widely read and influential since its publication in 1949.
