Orwell, George: Nineteen Eighty-Four. The Graphic Novel

Diese Graphic Novel-Adaption von '1984' ist eine fantastische und visuell beeindruckende Darstellung des dystopischen Romans und hat mich tief in die Welt von Winston Smith hineingezogen. Ein absolutes Muss für alle Fans von Orwell und für alle, die eine spannende Geschichte lieben.

Das Buch ist in einem sehr guten Zustand angekommen. Der Einband und die Seiten sehen sauber und unbeschädigt aus. Die Druckqualität wirkt gleichmäßig und die Bindung ist fest. Die Verpackung war intakt und alles kam wie erwartet an.

There seems to be a couple of graphic novels of Nineteen Eighty-Four in print. This edition, with art by Fido Nesti, is a very nice large-format edition which translates the text and ideas into sequential art. The art reflects the grey, oppressive atmosphere of the novel, and Nesti springs some surprises, such as traffic on roads (Winston on a London bus) which I’d never imagined.There is nothing to fault here. Some of the story is necessarily abridged for length and flow, but it doesn’t take away from the horrifying consequences of Winston Smith’s acts and omissions living in a totalitarian state. The book includes the essay which concludes the novel, and which has prompted debate about the fate of Oceania, Ingsoc and Newspeak. If you’re a fan of the novel, or looking for a way into it, this is well worth checking out (English language edition)

I do not really like this storyline.It was really slow and sometimes I got the feeling that I do not want to finish it. It bored me, there is not something excited in it.It was way more easier for me to understand it because of the pictures. As a book I would be lost. It is a good idea to get people reading classics as a graphic novel.
