Perihal e-buku ini
In George Orwell's dystopian classic '1984', the reader is taken on a chilling journey through a totalitarian society where the government holds absolute power over its citizens and monitors their every move. Orwell's writing style is stark and haunting, mirroring the bleak and oppressive atmosphere of the story. The novel is a powerful commentary on the dangers of authoritarianism and the erosion of individual freedom. Orwell's use of propaganda, surveillance, and manipulation serves as a cautionary tale for future generations. Set in a post-World War II world, '1984' continues to resonate with readers today for its timeless themes of government control and psychological manipulation. George Orwell, a keen observer of political and social issues, wrote '1984' as a warning against the rise of totalitarian regimes and the suppression of independent thought. His experiences in the Spanish Civil War and his disillusionment with Soviet totalitarianism informed his writing, giving the novel a sense of urgency and authenticity. I highly recommend '1984' to readers who are interested in thought-provoking literature that challenges the status quo and explores the consequences of unchecked power.
Perihal pengarang
George Orwell, the pseudonym for Eric Arthur Blair, is a towering figure in twentieth-century literature, showcasing a blend of shrewd political insight and profound humanism in his works. Born on June 25, 1903, in Bihar, India, to British colonial servants, Orwell was educated in England at the prestigious Eton College. His varied experiences as a police officer in Burma, a dishwasher in Paris, and a fighter in the Spanish Civil War profoundly shaped his worldview and literary pursuits. Orwell's writing is heralded for its clarity, intelligence, and impassioned critique of totalitarianism. He was an advocate for social justice and democratic socialism, as reflected in his allegorical novella 'Animal Farm' (1945) and his profound distrust of autocratic governance, which he eloquently depicted in '1984' (1949). This dystopian novel, which introduced terms like 'Big Brother' and 'Orwellian' into common parlance, paints a chilling vision of a society under perpetual surveillance and control. Whether through essays, journalism, or fiction, Orwell's work engages with the struggles of the underclass, the danger of unchecked political power, and the pursuit of truth. He died on January 21, 1950, but his legacy endures as a defender of clarity in language and moral integrity in an often opaque and tumultuous world.
