Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through the clever mix of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs, everyone is a happy consumer. Bernard Marx seems alone in his discontent.</p>
Aldous Huxley was born on 26th July 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early twenties, but it was his first novel, Crome Yellow (1921), which established his literary reputation. This was swiftly followed by Antic Hay (1923), Those Barren Leaves (1925) and Point Counter Point (1928) - bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily but ruthlessly passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society. The great novels of ideas, including his most famous work Brave New World (published in 1932 this warned against the dehumanising aspects of scientific and material 'progress') and the pacifist novel Eyeless in Gaza (1936) were accompanied by a series of wise and brilliant essays, collected in volume form under titles such as Music at Night (1931) and Ends and Means (1937). In 1937, at the height of his fame, Huxley left Europe to live in California, working for a time as a screenwriter in Hollywood. As the West braced itself for war, Huxley came increasingly to believe that the key to solving the world's problems lay in changing the individual through mystical enlightenment. The exploration of the inner life through mysticism and hallucinogenic drugs was to dominate his work for the rest of his life. His beliefs found expression in both fiction (Time Must Have a Stop, 1944 and Island, 1962) and non-fiction (The Perennial Philosophy, 1945, Grey Eminence, 1941 and the famous account of his first mescalin experience, The Doors of Perception, 1954. Huxley died in California on 22nd November 1963.
与1984相比,这个世界似乎要美好的多,人们不需要压抑自己的欲望,可以尽可能的作乐。是个幸福的世界,但是又很恐怖,因为很多世界观是我们接受不了了,没有父母,没有亲人,没有家庭,没有婚姻,没有爱。人们只是做着自己该做的和想做的。人是被按照需要创在出来的,而且千篇...
评分奥威尔担心我们憎恨的东西会毁掉我们,而赫胥黎担心的是,我们将毁于我们热爱的东西。 ——尼尔·波兹曼 我的身边有很多这样的同学,整天打英雄联盟,饿了吃饭,困了睡觉。我们的课程中有很多这样不得不去学习的课程,思想品德、马克思主义原理、毛泽东思想和中国特色社会主义...
评分曾经有幸参加过一次读书会,主题乔治奥威尔,不外乎是谈《动物庄园》与《1984》。当时在场的更多人是更喜欢《动物庄园》,而我对那本书却没什么很深刻的感觉,只很喜欢《1984》。当然《1984》也是有不少讨论的,一片引申,而我却只在旁听与发呆,基本没有发言。只是现在回想起...
评分说起反乌托邦的文学作品,乔治奥威尔的《1984》似乎在国内更享有盛名,相比之下,赫胥黎的《美妙的新世界》(美丽新世界)的知名度就要差上好多了。豆瓣上简单地一比,《1984》各个版本的读者加起来约有7000,而《美妙的新世界》却只有两三百人而已。 只因奥威尔所写的,几乎...
评分“你想要的我都给你,得不到的你永远都不想要。” 在未来的完美世界里,这就是最终的生存哲学。理想与现实的差距被缩短为零:要么实现理想,要么从根本上扼杀欲望。如果这一切都是可行的,终极幸福炙手可得。没有失望,没有妄想,人成为社会机器中能可靠预测的元素,祥和、完...
看完Ch 1觉得可以给4星. 全看完觉得也就至多4星... "文明与野蛮". 事实上依照功用去设定"机器"的能力和属性是完全没有问题的. 关键就在于从道德上我们是否可以在人这个躯壳中剥去"意志"这种东西使"低种姓人"降维成为"机器". 但人和机器的界限到底在哪里? 最后还有一点, 影响我对这个故事打分的很重要一点, 故事后半程的发展, 尤其体现出统治者太笨.
评分太牛了,community identity stability。 最后群众的"we want the whip",令人脊背发凉。
评分突然意识到某些方面几乎就要实现了……赶紧改个分。
评分通宵看完!为什么标签里有高中!!!!!!!!
评分“Every change is a threat to stability.”
