Synopsis "Un Futuro Incierto (in Spanish)"

George Orwell nunca escribió una autobiografía, pero narró de forma minuciosa los acontecimientos de su turbulenta existencia en epístolas ingeniosas, que mantuvo a lo largo de su vida con familiares y otras personas vinculadas a su oficio y que revelan cómo el joven Eric Blair eligió el seudónimo que lo hizo mundialmente conocido. Describe con igual humanidad una Barcelona devastada por la guerra, la crueldad inherente de encadenar prisioneros alemanes o exhibe sus creencias literarias y filosóficas en notas dirigidas a escritores como T. S. Eliot, Arthur Koestler, Cyril Connolly o Henry Miller. Un futuro incierto, epistolario íntimo de George Orwell es una entrada fascinante a la conciencia de un observador sensible, una mirada independiente, a veces tierna y siempre solidaria en medio de la desolación de las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Orwell repasa con igual atención sus vínculos familiares, los orígenes de sus famosas novelas o su visión del mundo contemporáneo hasta sus últimos días de vida, erosionado por la tuberculosis que lo llevó a la muerte a los cuarenta y seis años de edad.

View Author's Page
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.

Muy buen libro. Alumbra la confusa vida del hombre con probablemente el pseudónimo más reconocible del siglo XX. Sus cartas dan mucho para reflexionar sobre como las personas en su momento veían los fenómenos politicos que los rodeaban, y ciertamente, es complicado no identificarse considerando el panorama mundial actual. Por cierto, me parece hermosa la portada y el uso de papel craft tanto en la portada como en el papel del libro. Transmite una pertenencia a un tiempo pasado, o, como si el libro se hubiera ido oxidando con el pasó de los años, más no sus ideas que siguen igual de lubricadas. Ojala más libros fueran asi.
