In this issue, you will find three fundamental texts that have shaped dystopian political fiction: “We” by Yevgeny Zamyatin, “Nineteen Eighty-Four” by George Orwell and “Anthem” by Ayn Rand.
Each work offers a unique perspective on the dangers of totalitarianism and the struggle for freedom. Zamyatin presents a society where individuality is suppressed by the state, Orwell describes a regime of constant surveillance and manipulation of the truth, while Rand defends individualism in a future where extreme collectivity nullifies personal identity.
In times of disinformation and fake news, these narratives remind us of the risks of controlling information and manipulating the truth. This book is indispensable for students, lovers of literature and anyone interested in understanding the mechanisms of social control and the importance of protecting democratic values.
