1984 – misticismul cruzimii
984 - the mysticism of cruelty

Summary/Abstract: Isaac Deutscher's essay 1984 – The Mysticism of Cruelty examines George Orwell's novel 1984 as a cultural and political phenomenon of unparalleled influence in its generation. The work’s terminology—such as "Newspeak," "Big Brother," and "Thoughtcrime"—has transcended its literary origins, embedding itself in political discourse, particularly in the context of Cold War anti-communism. Deutscher critiques the novel's symbolic simplicity and its susceptibility to ideological exploitation, contrasting its visceral imagery with the nuanced symbolism of literary masterpieces.
