1984 is a dystopian and satirical novel written by George Orwell at the beginning of the cold war, in 1949 and was considered by Time Magazine one of the 100 Best English Language Novels.

Orwell writes about a prophetic and nightmarish vision of a society without basic civil rights and a government which controls and regulates its citizens in very extreme ways. In fact, by writing this novel, Orwell wishes to shock people´s hearts by showing them what an authoritarian nightmare could achieve. It´s a result of the totalitarianism that Orwell witnessed in the communist and socialist regime of World War II and therefore a critical argument against all kinds of “Big Brothers” (Mussolini, Hitler; Stalin, Mao...)
