About the author
George Orwell is one of England's most famous writers and social commentators. Among his works are the classic political satire Animal Farm and the dystopian nightmare vision Nineteen Eighty-Four. Orwell was also a prolific essayist, and it is for these works that he was perhaps best known during his lifetime. They include Why I Write and Politics and the English Language. His writing is at once insightful, poignant and entertaining, and continues to be read widely all over the world.
Eric Arthur Blair (George Orwell) was born in 1903 in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. The family moved to England in 1907 and in 1917 Orwell entered Eton, where he contributed regularly to the various college magazines. From 1922 to 1927 he served with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, an experience that inspired his first novel, Burmese Days (1934). Several years of poverty followed. He lived in Paris for two years before returning to England, where he worked successively as a private tutor, schoolteacher and bookshop assistant, and contributed reviews and articles to a number of periodicals. Down and Out in Paris and London was published in 1933. In 1936 he was commissioned by Victor Gollancz to visit areas of mass unemployment in Lancashire and Yorkshire, and The Road to Wigan Pier (1937) is a powerful description of the poverty he saw there.
At the end of 1936 Orwell went to Spain to fight for the Republicans and was wounded. Homage to Catalonia is his account of the civil war. He was admitted to a sanatorium in 1938 and from then on was never fully fit. He spent six months in Morocco and there wrote Coming Up for Air. During the Second World War he served in the Home Guard and worked for the BBC Eastern Service from 1941 to 1943. As literary editor of the Tribune he contributed a regular page of political and literary commentary, and he also wrote for the Observer and later for the Manchester Evening News. His unique political allegory, Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame.
It was around this time that Orwell's unique political allegory Animal Farm (1945) was published. The novel is recognised as a classic of modern political satire and is simultaneously an engaging story and convincing allegory. It was this novel, together with Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which finally brought him world-wide fame. Nineteen Eighty-Four's ominous depiction of a repressive, totalitarian regime shocked contemporary readers, but ensures that the book remains perhaps the preeminent dystopian novel of modern literature.
Orwell's fiercely moral writing has consistently struck a chord with each passing generation. The intense honesty and insight of his essays and non-fiction made Orwell one of the foremost social commentators of his age. Added to this, his ability to construct elaborately imaginative fictional worlds, which he imbued with this acute sense of morality, has undoubtedly assured his contemporary and future relevance.
George Orwell died in London in January 1950.

Excelente edición, el papel y la cubierta muy buenas.
Ahora, la obra en sí misma. Este libro describe en esencia lo que es un gobierno totalitario y sus métodos de dominación sobre las masas. De allí que sea tan actual para los tiempos en que vivimos. Las herramientas que propone como medios de dominación de las masas son escalofriantemente actuales. Ejemplo de ellas son la neolengua (¿les suena el *lenguaje inclusivo*?) que busca cambiar la forma de pensar de la gente haciéndola cada vez menos pensante. Las telepantallas (el celular o la pc de hoy) por el cual el Gran Hermano (léase el gobierno o las grandes corporaciones tecnológicas) puede ver y oír a cualquier hora a toda persona que se encuentre a su alcance. El *doblepensar* que consiste en aceptar como válidas dos ideas totalmente opuestas (¿les es familiar el argumento que un hombre puede ser mujer y una mujer puede ser hombre o que un hombre puede considerarse un perro sin ningún problema?). La *reescritura del pasado* que consiste en acabar con cualquier vestigio histórico que no convenga al partido (¿recuerdan la destrucción de estatuas en EEUU y en otras partes del mundo que se han dado en los últimos años? o el cambio en el contenido en nuevas ediciones de libros clásicos solo para hacerlos *políticamente correctos*). Los *crímenes mentales* que consisten en tener cualquier pensamiento que vaya en contra de los lineamientos del partido y que acabaron con la libertad de expresión (¿les suena los actualísimos conceptos *crímenes de odio*, todas las *fobias* y la decenas palabras acuñadas en los últimos 10 años que terminan *fobico* que no permiten disentir en lo más mínimo de la ideología imperante?) . Más presente aún, en nuestra sociedad global actual, sería, en la novela 1984, el *Ministerio del Amor*. Este ministerio era el encargado de las torturas, asesinatos y la *reeducación* de disidentes que tendría su equivalente actual en las redes sociales, ONGs, universidades etc. Claro, por el momento no hay, por lo menos de forma evidente, torturas físicas pero el castigo social que se da a los *infractores* a través de las redes y la ley tienen efectos devastadores en la vida de estos disidentes de la ideología posmodernista actual. En cuanto a la *reeducación* no puedo si no pensar por ejemplo en los cursos, obligatorios en algunos estamentos, de *nueva masculinidad* o *demasculinisación* que buscan imponer algunas ONGs y gobiernos financiados por las más grandes fortunas en el mundo (Soros, Gates, Zuckerberg etc). Finalmente, el partido busca la destrucción del concepto de familia de forma que el individuo se convierta en un ente sin protección y fácilmente manipulable, convirtiéndolo simplemente en un ente productor de bienes y procreador de nuevos seres humanos que servirán al Gran Hermano tal como hicieron sus padres. Basta ver que, por ejemplo, actualmente el gobierno de Canadá le quita la patria potestad de los hijos a los padres que se oponen a que sus hijos sea adoctrinados según la ideología de género o la hormonización de los mismos. Destruyendo en el proceso esas familias cuyos padres pueden acabar en la cárcel.
Existen muchas más aristas acerca del totalitarismo que se pueden descubrir en el texto pero estás son para mí las más resaltantes. El libro es altamente recomendable para darnos cuenta del mundo en que vivimos ahora en el primer cuarto del siglo 21 y para tomar posiciones respecto de los cambios radicales que se están gestando desde el siglo 20 y que serán más drásticos en los años que vienen. Recuerden siempre.... EL GRAN HERMANO TE VIGILA.
