Synopsis "Opresión Y Resistencia: Escritos Contra El Totalitarismo 1937-1949 / Oppression and Resistance (in Spanish)"

«Se enfrentó a las distintas ortodoxias y despotismos de su época con poco más que una destartalada máquina de escribir y una personalidad tenaz. -Christopher Hitchens Escritos entre 1937 y 1949, los textos aquí reunidos analizan y denuncian los abusos políticos que acabaron identificándose con el nombre de totalitarismo. George Orwell pasa revista a asuntos tan diversos como la Guerra Civil española, el imperialismo, la obra de Arthur Koestler, los nacionalismos o la figura de Gandhi, pero siempre pone el acento en el pensamiento crítico, a fin de evaluar los hechos sin aceptar simplificaciones partidistas ni generalizaciones fáciles. Pocos escritores nos animan con igual firmeza a mantenernos alerta y pensar por cuenta propia, oponiendo resistencia al mal siempre latente de la opresión. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "He stood up to different orthodoxies and despotisms of his time with little more than a beat-up typewriter and an unyielding personality." --Christopher Hitchens Written between 1937 and 1949, the collected works analyze and expose the kind of political abuse that was ultimately described as totalitarianism. George Orwell reviews matters as diverse as the Spanish Civil War, imperialism, Arthur Koestler's work, nationalisms, and the figure of Gandhi, but always accentuating critical thinking in order to evaluate facts without accepting partisan simplifications or simple generalizations. Few writers encourage us so firmly to stay alert and think for ourselves, resisting the ever present evil of oppression.

Eric Arthur Blair (Motihari, British Raj, June 25, 1903-London, United Kingdom, January 21, 1950), known by his pen name George Orwell, was a British novelist, journalist, essayist, and critic born in India, author among other works of the dystopian novels Animal Farm (1945) and 1984 (1949)

His work bears the mark of autobiographical experiences lived by the author in three stages of his life: his position against British imperialism which led him to commit as a representative of the colonial law enforcement forces in Burma during his youth; in favor of democratic socialism, after having observed and suffered the living conditions of the working social classes in London and Paris; and against Nazi and Stalinist totalitarianisms after his participation in the Spanish Civil War, on the Republican side

In addition to being a chronicler, literary critic, and novelist, he is one of the most prominent essayists in the English language of the 1930s and 1940s. He is also known for his criticisms of totalitarianism in his allegorical short novel Animal Farm (1945) and his dystopian novel 1984 (1949), written in his last years of life and published shortly before his death, in which he creates the concept of "Big Brother," which has since entered the common language of criticism of modern surveillance techniques.
