The book itself is a somewhat dramatised (hopefully) version of Stalin's Russia/Nazi Germany. It has so many layers to it, and I', still not convinces I've worked out just how deep the 'Party' goes in their propaganda, gaslighting, and plotting against its own citizens.
This is an incredibly well planned out (or perhaps the word is researched) and realised world, where even the bits that are fiction could very easily be real. That, I think, is the true terror of this book: How easily society could go from even today's status, to that found in this book. Thus, Orwell's intention to have this book serve as a warning was fully realised.

Nessa segunda resenha vou me concentrar mas em comentar sobre a edição, assim como minha nota também foi para ela, por já fazer ano passado a resenha da história.
A edição é muito bonita, cheia de imagens nos finais dos capítulos e troca de partes (elas têm um aspecto de colagem modernista), a única coisa que me incomodada foi o fato de terem sido colocados na mesma pagina o original e a tradução, ficou muito apertado e me deixou cansada. Isso foi feito para provavelmente aumentar o número de páginas, mas prejudicou minha leitura.
