Als Mitarbeiter des Ministeriums für Wahrheit verbringt Winston Smith seine Tage damit, die Geschichte zugunsten der regierenden Partei umzuschreiben. Aber in seinem Inneren wächst ein Widerstand gegen das totalitäre System, in dem das Leben aufs Strengste reguliert und überwacht wird. Als Winston sich verbotenerweise verliebt, erfährt er, was der Wunsch nach Freiheit kostet.

Mit einem Vorwort von Robert Habeck. Neu übersetzt von Lutz W. Wolff.

Faut-il relire "Mille neuf cent quatre-vingt-quatre" ?
Ma réponse est clairement oui.
Et pour de bonnes raisons :

However, this propaganda does not necesarrily manage to convince everybody. Regardless of the political system, it seems that generally, the people under its influence tend to root for it. But also regardless of the system, the capacity for subversive ideas can never be eliminated. Whether this capacity is actually of any use, though, depends on the system.

5 stars

La distopía narrada en este libro es realmente aterradora, más pensando en el hecho de que todos básicamente llevamos una telepantalla en nuestros bolsillos a diario.
