1984 by George Orwell (Spanish edition, Debolsillo)

George Orwell’s 1984 stands as a haunting portrait of a society under unrelenting surveillance and control. Set in a dreary London of the titular year, the protagonist Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth—rewriting history to conform to the Party’s shifting narrative. But as the regime tightens its grip—through the ever-watchful Big Brother, the Thought Police and language manipulation—Winston begins to question the reality around him and to glimpse the possibility of rebellion.

This Spanish-language edition from Debolsillo is a compact and accessible version of the classic, translated by Miguel Temprano García. It invites readers into a chilling world where even one’s inner thoughts are subject to oversight and punishment. The novel explores themes of truth and memory, language and power, identity and conformity—questions that remain startlingly relevant in our digital age.

Whether you are new to Orwell’s work or returning to it with fresh eyes, this edition offers the full force of the original story in a modern and readable format. It is ideal for readers of literary fiction, classic dystopian works, or anyone interested in political, social and psychological critique. A necessary read that leaves a lasting impression, 1984challenges our assumptions about freedom, control and the nature of reality itself.
