Nineteen Eighty-Four: The Graphic Novel

Bought this for a friend beautiful artwork and bound really well. Classy.

I’m stunned by the quality and attractiveness of the recent graphic novels. Our 11-year old daughter is a fervent reader and is now in to graphic novels that she likes to collect - she has gathered a small, very nice looking collection by now. So I bought this 1984 book for her as these graphic novels are perfect, though expensive, gifts for birthdays and / or Christmas.Now, in my search for more titles I stumbled upon this adaptation of 1984 and thought that as a great and influential work of literature our daughter might appreciate it, as was the case with the equally momentous Animal Farm graphic novel, illustrated by Odyr with far less text and with aquarelle-type of illustrations.It has been decades since I read 1984 but the graphic version of this timeless masterpiece seems accurate and a good representation of the original work. The hard cover book is beautifully presented, with amazing art in gloomy colours printed on high quality paper. The grim dystopian world is quite gripping and the characters are very well represented. Without going into much detail about the dark story – it’s about a secret love-affair in a totalitarian regime - it’s just a great read and still brilliant reflection even on elements of the current society, which in itself is a spectacular feat given that the original story was published 70 years ago!Very glad we got this book, and grateful my daughter let me read it as well.There are not that many suitable and good quality graphic novels available, but this is certainly not one to miss.Btw I would highly recommend the stunning Anne Frank graphic novel by David Polonsky.

I am delighted with this purchase. The item is of exceptional quality and offers great value for money. It arrived sooner than expected, in perfect condition. The seller's dedication to customer satisfaction is evident.

The service and product are spot on.

I really enjoyed the comic and it portrayed the story perfectly. The visual style and the overall mood just makes your gut wrenching. I recommend it.

The story is obviously a classic and the artwork is amazing, heightening the mood of the book

My 14 year old grandson was so thrilled with this when he opened it. Very gratifying! It is a beautifully produced graphic novel and the subject matter was of great interest to him. Sturdy, robust hardback that will last a lifetime.

Really fast deliveryBook is in hard cover which makes it a little bit "heavy" but in overall- it looks and feels amazing!I highly recommend this iconic title in a graphic novel version! 💖Very good item for a present

There is nothing I can add to commentary on the story itself. I'd like to focus on the graphic novel aspect.We understand words by their association to images and things. The graphic novel provides a vital format for solidifying those concepts presenting in the book through images.The illustration used in this book is perfect. It is never overwhelming and it never detracts, or distracts the reader, from the story. Nowhere is there an image too graphic or too explicit to take you out of the story, to distract you from the overall plot and point. Rather, the images are masterfully drawn to reinforce what you read. The reader is not told how to think about the story through the illustrations; rather, they serve as an anchor of sorts to subtly convey what Orwell is saying in this novel.There is nothing of substance I can add, which has not already been said, about this vital piece of literature. So in summation, the illustrator has done an excellent job of providing backdrop and context to the ideas of the story without detracting the reader from it. This is just as it should be done, so the message of the work is not diluted. I think Orwell would have approved.

Very nice book

the book is exceptionally well designed, in addition the pages are made of a very resistant material, as well as the figures have sharp and strong colors.
