One of the most influential books of the twentieth century gets the graphic treatment in this first-ever adaptation of George Orwell's 1984.
War is Peace * Freedom is Slavery * Ignorance is Strength
In 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called the Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be.
With evocative, immersive art from Fido Nesti, this vision of George Orwell's dystopian masterpiece provides a new perspective for longtime fans but is also an accessible entry point for young readers and adults who have yet to discover the iconic story that is still so relevant today.

על המחבר-
ERIC ARTHUR BLAIR (1903–1950), better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English author and journalist whose best-known works include the dystopian novel 1984 and the satirical novella Animal Farm. He is consistently ranked among the best English writers of the 20th century, and his writing has had a huge, lasting influence on contemporary culture. Several of his coined words have since entered the English language, and the word "Orwellian" is now used to describe totalitarian or authoritarian social practices.

May 24, 2021 Orwell’s classic dystopian nightmare is lent new life in this atmospheric graphic adaptation by Brazilian artist Nesti. In Orwell’s bleak totalitarian world engaged in perpetual war, Big Brother is always watching (ever-present in the comic’s setting via ubiquitous ominous signs posted), and Thought Police stand guard to mete out brutal justice for thoughtcrimes. Hero Winston Smith, drawn as a drab everyman, is both gifted and cursed with pre-dictatorship memories, and reflects that “even the outline of your own life lost its sharpness.” When he enters into a forbidden love affair with Julia, a fellow apostate, together they join a secret revolutionary group called The Brotherhood. While this adaption is rather text-heavy—perhaps necessarily so to fully impart Orwell’s complex ideas—Nesti’s accessible gray and orange drawings provide balance and light, giving Orwell’s oppressive vision a lyrical touch. His artistic style also lends a Depression-era vibe, one that would have read as retro even in 1949, when the novel was originally published. This artful reinterpretation reminds how Orwell’s warnings of the dangers of authoritarianism have remained frighteningly timeless. Agent: Bill Hamilton, A.M. Heath.
Starred review from June 1, 2021
In 1984, Great Britain has been renamed Airstrip One, a small province in one of three perpetually warring totalitarian super-states that rule the entire world. Mass surveillance is the norm for denizens of Airstrip One, as is the terror of being accused of disloyalty to the ruling party and its enigmatic leader, Big Brother. Nevertheless, after acquiring a small diary, Winston Smith begins recording his memories, thoughts, and feelings--including his displeasure at working for the Ministry of Truth, where he's responsible for revising historical records to suit Big Brother's needs--and observations about how the Party encourages ignorance and isolation. When a woman named Jane unexpectedly pledges her love for him, she and Winston begin a passionate affair--despite the Party's ban against sex for any purpose other than reproduction. Soon, the pair are drawn into contact with an underground resistance movement; following a shocking betrayal, their love is tested as they face interrogation within the windowless confines of the Ministry of Love. VERDICT Brazilian illustrator Fido Nesti employs a muted color palette and a tight nine-panel layout to stress the gloomy, hopelessly claustrophobic existence of those pinned under Big Brother's thumb. An excellent adaptation of the novel.

June 1, 2021 Nesti gives the graphic-novel treatment to Orwell's sf classic of a totalitarian government in a dystopian future. Winston is a low-level worker for the Party in London, where he is responsible for changing documents to fit the Party's version of history. However, feeling oppressed by the constant monitoring by Big Brother and the limitations put on citizens, Winston begins to look beyond them for some meager satisfaction in his life. The text of this graphic novel is Orwell's original, though careful readers may note that some of the descriptions are edited out and put in the illustrations. Nesti's art is bleak, matching the tone of the text; the color palette is mostly shades of gray and black, with some muted blue and more shocking splashes of red. Illustrations evoke the vibe of the original text's mid-twentieth-century era, with limited defined character features reminiscent of the art in The Adventures of Tintin or Little Orphan Annie. Hand this to readers who are new to 1984 or hesitant to take up a classic.
