1984: The Graphic Novel
1984: The Graphic Novel | George Orwell
5 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
One of the most influential books of the twentieth century gets the graphic treatment in this first-ever adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984. War is Peace * Freedom is Slavery * Ignorance is Strength In 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called the Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be. With evocative, immersive art from Fido Nesti, this vision of George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece provides a new perspective for longtime fans but is also an accessible entry point for young readers and adults who have yet to discover the iconic story that is still so relevant today.

I really liked the black and white drawings of this graphic novel, it definitely helped to bring across the mood of the novel. I am not sure if I will read the original because the dystopy seems rather depressing. I am glad I choose to check out the graphic novels first.

What a scary thought of the history being revised every now and then. Things that have been your past today, won‘t be tomorrow‘s past.

Revisiting classics in graphic novel form is a great to brush up on the story and themes without dedicating the time it takes to read the whole book. While Im not a huge fan of the style of the illustrations, the book does do an amazing job of capturing the bleak, gritty dystopia setting. Remains a warning for our time.
Thanks to @Megabooks for the idea to read this prior to reading Julia, the retelling of 1984, a pick for #litsyToB24.

Megabooks Glad this was helpful for you, too. I enjoyed how the artist depicted Winston visually. I feel it was just right. And I will always love a good graphic adaptation!!! 10mo

Definitely recommend brushing up on 1984 with this graphic adaptation ahead of reading the #LitsyToB24 pick Julia. While not strictly necessary, the stories dovetail enough that it was helpful. The art in this adaptation is great, and I could read it in a day!

AbstractMonica @TheNeverendingTBR I hope it‘s good! I read Animal Farm by the same adaptation author and I really enjoyed that one. 2y
AbstractMonica @TheNeverendingTBR actually, I think that was a different author, so we‘ll about this one 😊 2y
