RESEÑA: 1984 DE george orwell
SINOPSIS: “En el año 1984 Londres es una ciudad lúgubre en la que la Policía del Pensamiento controla de forma asfixiante la vida de los ciudadanos. Winston Smith es un peón de este engranaje perverso, su cometido es reescribir la historia para adaptarla a lo que el Partido considera la versión oficial de los hechos… hasta que decide replantearse la verdad del sistema que los gobierna y somete”
¿POR QUÉ DECIDÍ LEERLO?
Tengo que admitir que comencé este libro con expectativas altas, aunque, realmente, sin la menor idea de qué me iba a encontrar. Lo cual suena un tanto extraño. No me pareció que la sinopsis me dijera demasiado sobre el libro que tenía en mis manos, así que comencé el libro basándome en lo que había escuchado de él.
ESCRITURA
La pluma del autor es sobria y descriptiva. En cierto modo, tiene un aire triste y apagado, captando muy bien los sentimientos del protagonista. George Orwell describre mucho los alrededores de sus personajes, incluyendo varios detalles que parecen insignificantes pero, luego, al final, no lo son. El autor planeó su novela cuidadosamente, para que cada página diga algo. George Orwell no dice o explica textualmente cómo son las cosas en el mundo de su libro, sino que las muestra. Muestra, a través de la voz de su protagonista, como el mundo de su libro funciona y lo que la gente piensa de él. ¡Es una forma de escribir simplemente magnífica y hermosa!
REFLEXIÓN
Para disfrutar bien de esta novela, hay que leerla pausadamente, reflexionando porque, en mi opinión, fue hecha para eso y no por el mero entretenimiento.
1984 me ha hecho pensar en muchas cosas, mirar por unos instantes la realidad de otra manera y he disfrutado mucho de ello. Mucha gente dice que 1984 es un libro sumamente aburrido y, debo admitirlo, es un tanto lento, pero no lo considero aburrido en absoluto.
Esta novela te muestra una sociedad diferente, un mundo distópico (o utópico, dependiendo de quién lo diga) muy interesante para analizar. Muestra, en pocas palabras, como la sociedad puede cambiar la mente de una persona, sin importar lo decida que esté esa mente.
CONCLUSIÓN
¡1984 de George Orwell me ha encantado! Por su estilo, su crudeza, sus planteamientos... ¡Un libro que me ha hecho pensar mucho en varias cosas!
¿Lo recomiendo? ¡Completamente!
¿Me gustó? ¡Mucho!
¿Debes leerlo? ¡sí!
2 + 2 = 5, ¿o 4?

book review: 1984 by GEORGE ORWELL
SINOPSIS: The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still the great modern classic of "negative utopia" -a startlingly original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions -a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.
WHY DID I DECIDE TO READ IT?
I must admit I began reading this book with high expectations, but with no idea of what it was truly about. I know, that sounds pretty incoherent. But this is becasuse I didn't find the synopsis really helpful, so I began reading it based on what I had heard about it.
WRITING STYLE
The author's writing style is descriptive, with a sad and dead tone, pretty much like the protagonist's feelings. George Orwell describres his character's surroundings and gives lots of details that seem meaningless but end up being just the opposite. The author planned his novel carefully so that every chapter SAYS something worth remembering. George Orwell doesn't say or textually explain how things are in his world, but he shows them. He shows, through his protagonist's voice, how the world in the book works and how people see it. It's just a marvelous way of writing!!
REFLECTION
To enjoy this novel, you must read it slowly, giving yourself time to think about it and reflect. I think that's why it was written and not just to entertain.
1984 has made me think about lots of things and has helped me see things differently. Many people say it's quite boring and, I must admit, it it LONG, but I don't think it's boring at all.
This novel shows you a dystopian/utopian world (depending on who says it) that shows, in simple terms, how society can change someone's mind no matter how determined that mind seems to be.
CONCLUSION
I've loved 1984 by George Orwell!! Why? Because of its style, its beauty and its hardness. This book has made me overthink thigns a lot!
Did I like it? YES!
Do I recommend it? Completely!
Should you read it? Definitely yes!

Hola!!
ResponderEliminarMe ha encantado tu entrada! Leí este libro hace ya mucho tiempo y lo cierto es que coincido contigo en todo. Has sabido reflejar muy bien la profundidad que Orwell era capaz de darle a sus personajes, y también ese estilo sombrío, melancólico y oscuro que perdura durante toda la obra.
Personalmente yo me lo leí de un tirón, pero me parece un buen consejo por tu parte el recomendar que se lea poquito a poco, con ciertos momentos para reflexionar.
"1984" es realmente una de las grandes obras maestras de la ciencia ficción que todo aquel enamorado de la lectura debería leer antes de morir!
Me ha gustado mucho tu blog, desde aqhora lo sigo y me quedo un ratito más!
También me gustaría invitarte al mío, espero que tengas un agradable paseo entre sus entradas.
Un saludo y nos leemos!
