1984 (graphic novel)

In 1984, London is a grim city, where the Thought Police keep a suffocating watch over the lives of its citizens. The gravest crime of all is to have a free mind.

Winston Smith is a cog in this perverse machine, and his job is to rewrite history to conform to what the Party considers the official version of events. This is what he does, until he decides to question the truth of the oppressive system. In his longing for freedom and truth, he risks his life by falling in love with a colleague, the beautiful Julia, and rebelling against the ruling power.

Originally published in 1949, George Orwell's most powerful work is adapted into a graphic novel for the first time, illustrated by Brazilian artist Fido Nesti, who masterfully captures the faces, bodies, and settings of a world that is becoming easier to imagine day by day.
