What can we say? If graphic novels are your jam, and you have not yet read (or have only a dim recollection of reading it in high school, when, perhaps, you did not, or were as yet unable to, fully appreciate it) George Orwell's masterpiece, 1984 – one of the key texts of the 20th century – then do yourself a favor and read and/or revisit this classic here. Fido Nesti's graphic novel adaptation – which (quite fittingly, we think) originally appeared in Brazil – does an excellent job of capturing the essence of Orwell's work, maintaining the oppresive mood and incorporating the most important textual elements. !984 continues, in most respects, to offer a critique of our society that is as germane today as it was in 1948 when it was originally written, unfortunately.
