1984 : the graphic novel
Nesti, Fido, 1971-2021
Book
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 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. This graphic adaptation of George Orwell's book provides new perspective on the iconic story that is still so relevant today.
