I just couldn’t get into it. The thought police was a little weird to me… I’ll retry it later. Need something more light hearted

I know it’s a classic and considered one of the most important books of the 20th Century, but honestly it was kinda difficult to get through. At times I can see where critics are coming from but it’s just a bit too intellectual for me

orwells ego shines through the writing, overall a powertrip

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Esta relectura de 1984 me ha vuelto a fascinar. La novela sigue siendo una obra maestra que atrapa con su atmósfera opresiva y su crítica al control totalitario. Orwell construye un mundo inquietante que invita a reflexionar sobre la libertad, la verdad y el poder, temas que siguen siendo muy actuales. Volver a sumergirme en la historia y en los dilemas de Winston me hizo valorar aún más la fuerza y vigencia del libro. Sin duda, una lectura imprescindible para cualquiera que quiera entender los peligros de la manipulación y el autoritarismo.
