1984: Nineteen Eighty-four
Author: George Orwell
Publisher: Landmark
ISBN: 6599454623
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 453
Book Description
Um livro para não esquecer. Um livro para despertar mentes. Uma sociedade hedionda, repugnante, desumana. 1984 : NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR oferece hoje uma descrição quase realista do vastíssimo sistema de fiscalização em que passaram a assentar as democracias capitalistas. A história se passa no ano de 1984, em um futuro distópico onde o Estado impõe um regime extremamente totalitário para a sociedade, através da vigilância do Grande Irmão, imposta pelo partido (Ingsoc), onde ninguém escapa do seu poder. Assim, o local do romance, Oceania, é dominado pelo medo e pela repressão, pois quem pensa contra o regime é acusado de cometer um crime (no livro, crimideia, ou crime de ideia, na tradução para a novilíngua, o idioma do futuro). O Grande Irmão já não é uma figura de estilo, mas sim, converteu-se numa vulgaridade quotidiana. É neste mundo opressivo que a personagem principal, que representa o contraponto ao regime, Winston Smith, logo começa a questionar o modo como age o Estado. Winston faz parte do Ministério da Verdade, sua função é falsificar registros históricos, a fim de moldar o passado à luz dos interesses do presente tirânico. Nesse cenário de submissão onde não há mais leis, mas sim inúmeras regras determinadas pelo Partido, ninguém nunca viu o Grande Irmão em pessoa. Uma sacada genial do autor: o tirano mais amedrontador é também aquele mais abstrato. Nos dias atuais, onde as fakenews imperam e o controle da sociedade nos mantém em perpétua vigilância, esta obra-prima da distopia torna-se cada vez mais atual.
