One of the last writings of an author who lived only 47 years and never saw the second half of the 20th century, since its publication until now, it has always been at the top of the most important and influential dystopian novels in history, while the human and utopian idea of its author is evident in it. The book 1984, based on the premise of being in the future where the rulers have turned hatred into the highest human trait, is full of ideas for images and pictures, and for this reason, its influence on the history of cinema has existed in many other films in addition to direct adaptations. In fact, all dystopian films with the narrative of being under the shadow of a totalitarian government in the future are indirect adaptations of the great Overland novel. Therefore, the idea of an illustrated book in the form of a black comic strip is a double-edged sword that requires a deep understanding and closeness to the intellectual range of the English left-wing writer. Brazilian illustrator, caricaturist, and comic strip designer Fido Nesti, in illustrating 1984, with his distinct influence in the visual setting of the book from the film "Brazil" by English Terry Gilliam, has established intelligent visual links between both fellow artists and yet It has reached an artistic point of view in the visual narration of the book. The intelligent use of icons close to Trotsky and Stalin instead of "Immanuel Goldstein" and "Elder Brother", along with presenting the same philosophical and poetic depths of the book in the frame by frame of illustration, has caused the generality of the images and of course their sequence and montage, to a tremendous effect. lead to; Like when Mrs. Parsons asks Winston for help fixing the pipes in her house, and in a medium shot we see the woman described as, "...you look a lot older. One thought that dust was sitting on the lines of his face. And a few frames later, we see a very close-up of part of Mrs. Parsons' face in full depression, with the caption: "In the brighter living room light, Winston realized that dust was indeed sitting on Mrs. Parsons's features." It is with these details that this illustrated novel is not a comic strip statement of the culture industry to simplify a great literary work, but an original, aesthetic, and thoughtful view from 1984 that can be referred to beyond the original book.
