1980 is the story of a family like almost any other: completely mad. Or in other words, normal. There’s no sexual or domestic abuse here. There are powerful women, perhaps too many of them, and the men are dead or absent. There’s a progressive mother living in Madrid in the late seventies, listening to María Jiménez and toying with the possibility of running over Manuel Fraga.
I984, along with Animal Farm - also published by our imprint - is George Owell's most famous and powerful novel. Both works have transcended the specific criticisms they were intended to deliver at the time of their conception. Written in 1948, this novel denounced the totalitarianism of Hitler and Stalin.
