It was as though it were a kind of liquid stu ﬀ that poured all over him and got mixed up with the sunlight that ﬁltered through the leaves. Es el ente que gobierna a Oceanía según el Ingsoc. Its Ingsoc is being led by Big Brother, an elusive party demagogue, who is meant to watch everybody.

Big Brother (conocido en castellano como Gran Hermano o, en su traducción correcta, Hermano Mayor) es un personaje de la novela de George Orwell 1984 (1949) y, por tanto, también de las películas del mismo nombre basadas en dicha novela. Summary of 1984 The novel starts in 1984 when the world, after having witnessed wars and revolutions, is finally having a break. Perhaps at the other end of the instrument some small, beetle-like man was listening intently - listening to that. He and Julia had spoken only in low whispers, and it would not pick up what they had said, but it would pick up the thrush. What made it sit at the edge of the lonely wood and pour its music into nothingness? He wondered whether after all there was a microphone hidden somewhere near. For whom, for what, was that bird singing? No mate, no rival was watching it. Winston watched it with a sort of vague reverence. Sometimes it stopped for a few seconds, spread out and resettled its wings, then swelled its speckled breast and again burst into song. The music went on and on, minute after minute, with astonishing variations, never once repeating itself, almost as though the bird were deliberately showing o ﬀ its virtuosity. Winston and Julia clung together, fascinated.

It spread out its wings, fitted them carefully into place again, ducked its head for a moment, as though making a sort of obeisance to the sun, and then began to pour forth a torrent of song.

A thrush had alighted on a bough not five metres away, almost at the level of their faces.
