1984 (ENGLISH)

Described as a dystopia, this magnificent work of George Orwell reveals how much the past actually carries traces of the future. With this work he wrote in 1948, Orwell leaves a protest to today’s modern world. Although he describes the year 1984 in his book, it is possible to find traces from today in the depths of the book. In this case, of course, George Orwell’s foresight is effective. This book, which is a critique of Soviet Russia, also focuses on concepts such as the pressure of today’s politics, the injustice in society, the desire to standardize people, the control of the mind and the destruction of individuality. The novel, which includes realistic aspects as well as utopian, invites you to think in the social order you live in. You will not be able to let go of this novel, which gives clues about where we might be dragged if no action is taken. Did you know that? George Orwell actually chose 1980 as the year the book takes place. However, as the completion of the book took longer due to the effect of Orwell’s illness, the year was changed to 1982, and then it was decided in 1984. The reason for this is that Orwell completed the writing of the book in 1948. Orwell decides to swap the last 2 digits of 1948. Thus, the book was published under the name 1984.
