I984, along with Animal Farm - also published by our imprint - is George Owell's most famous and powerful novel. Both works have transcended the specific criticisms they were intended to deliver at the time of their conception. Written in 1948, this novel denounced the totalitarianism of Hitler and Stalin. However, both the political propaganda of Big Brother - the censoring eye - and the domination of the population by the Party have diachronic resonances. A classic that strikes, with renewed strength, at a time when we are slaves to technology and an oppressive elite. Luis Scafati surpasses himself, offering one of his most lucid, critical and powerful works of recent times.
