First published in 1949, George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" has lost none of the impact with which it first hit readers. Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth in London, chief city of Airstrip One. Big Brother stares out from every poster, the Thought Police uncover every act of betrayal. When Winston finds love with Julia, he discovers that life does not have to be dull and deadening, and awakens to new possibilities. Despite the police helicopters that hover and circle overhead, Winston and Julia begin to question the Party; they are drawn towards conspiracy. Yet Big Brother will not tolerate dissent - even in the mind. For those with original thoughts they invented Room 101.
Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950), better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English author and journalist. His work is marked by keen intelligence and wit, a profound awareness of social injustice, an intense opposition to totalitarianism, a passion for clarity in language and a belief in democratic socialism.
Considered perhaps the twentieth century's best chronicler of English culture, Orwell wrote fiction, polemical journalism, literary criticism and poetry. He is best known for the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (published in 1949) and the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945)—they have together sold more copies than any two books by any other twentieth-century author. His 1938 book Homage to Catalonia, an account of his experiences as a volunteer on the Republican side during the Spanish Civil War, together with numerous essays on politics, literature, language and culture, are widely acclaimed.
Orwell's influence on contemporary culture, popular and political, continues decades after his death. Several of his neologisms, along with the term "Orwellian"—now a byword for any totalitarian or manipulative social phenomenon opposed to a free society—have entered the vernacular.
有一种很悲凉的感觉。

评分这本书看了好久,我果然对那种沉重的政治主题的书有点抵制心理,虽然这是本公认的好书。
评分war is rulers’ peace, ignorance is rulers’ strength
评分还是更喜欢Animal Farm,不过这本也不错。
再看了一遍《一九八四》。是在对自己提醒。每一天过去,困囿在自己的小情绪里,其中有多少关乎这个世界的命运呢。没有。每一天过去,偶尔升起的失落感幸福感那么隆重,沉沦其中,似乎就可以称之为生命的全部了。欢喜,悲伤,其实真的有多少关乎人类的命运关于未来的人类呢。没...
评分拿到这一版的《1984》,还没有看到内容就已经感到些许悲哀。悲哀可能就来源于这句“日本著名作家村上春树以1Q84》向《1984》致敬”吧。这部“堪称世界文坛讽喻小说的不朽高峰和里程碑式力作。”竟然首先是以当代流行作家的作品为噱头来推荐,就好比我推荐《西游记》时用“七龙...
评分奥威尔在书中得出了一个必将到来的悲观结论,我始终不能明白,为什么多数人总是对此视而不见。 我对于1984的看法是:这是一部极为悲观的作品,那种绝望的悲观如同饥饿,寒冷或者肉体的痛楚,你以为用冷漠可以咬牙坚持过去,但结果只是一再证明自己的软弱无力。 造就那种悲观...
评分最近断断续续在看乔治奥威尔的《一九八四》,别人问我它是什么书的时候,我会很严肃地和他们说:这是一本很恐怖的书。 说它是恐怖之书不是说这书写的是恐怖故事,而是让你看了以后你会觉得不寒而栗,你会庆幸自己暂时没有生活在那样的氛围之中。 单看我的这题目吧,...
