-Aldous Huxley ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In 1984, London is a gloomy city in which the Thought Police suffocatingly control the lives of its citizens.

Winston Smith is a pawn in this perverse game and his task is to rewrite history to adapt it to what the Party considers the official version of events.

Until he decides to rethink the truth of the system that governs and subjugates them.

In these pages, the graphic artist Fido Nesti re-elaborates the authors masterpiece of the dystopian subgenre, endowing with faces, bodies, and landscapes a world that with each passing day becomes less difficult to imagine.

Here we are no longer alone with what we usually recognize as literature and identify with good writing.

Here we are, I repeat, before visionary energy.

And not all visions refer to the future, or the Hereafter.

-Umberto Eco A magnificent and deeply interesting book.

-Aldous Huxley.
