1984: The Graphic Novel

Product Information

The conflict between Winston’s essential humanity and the dehumanizing policies of the Party is developed when Winston’s coworker, Julia, hands Winston a slip of paper. Winston has suspected Julia is following him, and he views her with a mixture of desire and paranoia, so he expects the paper to reveal a warning or a coded threat from a Party spy. Instead, it says, “I love you,” and Winston and Julia begin their affair, setting Winston’s personal desires on a collision course with Party ideology and raising the stakes of how far Winston will go to maintain his autonomy.

Im letzten Jahr durfte ich bereits "Farm der Tiere" und "1984" von George Orwell auf meinen Kanälen vorstellen, woraufhin ich viele Nachrichten von Lesern erhalten habe, die sich anschließend die Weltklassiker gekauft, gelesen und meine Gedanken geteilt haben. Winston beginnt an das System zu zweifeln und schreibt seine Gedanken in ein Tagebuch nieder. Des Weiteren verliebt er sich in Julia und trifft sich mit ihr heimlich. Beides Verstöße, die sofort geahndet werden. One of the most influential books of the twentieth century gets the graphic treatment in this first-ever adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984.I should say here that I am not a fan of the original book. I mean: I consider George Orwell’s “1984” one of the GREATEST and most important books written in world literature overall, in all time periods, considering its visionary insights, cultural/historical significance, and landmark messages/memes/characters, but I also think that this is a very boring and dull story. Ministry of Truth, the enormous pyramidal structure of glittering white concrete and 300 meters into the air with three thousand rooms above ground level, concerned itself with news, education and entertainment, that was said, but in fact, its main task was to rewrite history, so that it’d correspond with the present time and announce the news that was more likely to be false. What Winston does is edit the published newspapers in a way that Big Brother’s predictions are always retroactively correct. He also removed references to “unpersons”, or “vaporised” political dissidents and he rewrites history so that Oceania appears always to have been at war with Eastasia —or with Eurasia. It changes, depending on shifting allegiances.

In 1984, George Orwell's dystopian masterpiece, the world has been split up into three super-states: Fido Nesti has faithfully adapted the oppressive, hopeless feeling which was generated by the Book. The visuals are simple, but hauntingly beautiful, possessing a rustic, psychedelic quality, and giving you the ever pervading feeling of the walls closing in on you.

Si la obra original me parece genial, la novela gráfica lo ratifica. De 1984 ya está todo dicho, creo, y si me decidí por la novela gráfica es por pasárselo a un par de personas a las que con el texto original no hay forma, con dibujinos... veremos. The initiating incident that sets the plot in motion occurs when Winston begins to write his subversive thoughts in his diary. He begins to think of himself as “already dead,” suggesting he has abandoned the impulse for self-preservation, and his life has little value to him, making him ready to sacrifice it to a cause.
