A spectacular graphic adaptation of the greatest dystopian novel ever written
George Orwell (Author)
Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George
Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil
Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most
prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature.
His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945,
and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen
Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels
and non-fiction include Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and
London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia.
Fido Nesti (Illustrator)
Fido Nesti was born in S o Paulo, Brazil, in 1971. A self-taught
artist, he has worked in illustration and comics for over
twenty-five years. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, Rolling
Stone, and Americas Quarterly, among many other publications.
Fido Nesti has done a grand job of depicting Orwell's dystopian
nightmare ... The writer himself, you like to think, would have
been most proud of this new graphic interpretation
