25 dic 1945 año - Orwell reviews 'We'

Descripción:

'In Orwell’s view, the book targets “the implied aims of industrial civilisation” as a whole, rather than any particular society. Still, he notes the stark resemblance between the OneState and Stalinism, with its cult of personality, rapid industrialisation and political repression'

'Writing at about the time of Lenin’s death, he cannot have had the Stalin dictatorship in mind, and conditions in Russia in 1923 were not such that anyone would revolt against them on the ground that life was becoming too safe and comfortable. What Zamyatin seems to be aiming at is not any particular country but the implied aims of industrial civilisation'
