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.
到现在我依然坚信政治活动于人类的进步或是美好事物而言几乎在起着反作用,曾经一度我一直在思考为什么人们会坚持不懈的坚持着这些让世界变得不美好的事情,后来我才知道,人类就是不美好的,对于这个世界人类确实是污点般的存在,我们与所谓美好相距甚远,所以说那些追寻美好事物的人们可能才是“异类”,而这些追名逐利追求权力,控制等等的人们,其实就是人类本身。
评分毕业论文写这个作死。封面好看。
评分不经历的人不会懂。
评分还是更喜欢Animal Farm,不过这本也不错。

朋友曾经问,看过1984最大的感受是什么?很多人说恐惧,可是我却只感受到刻骨的,无法用泪水倾泄的悲伤。 在黄昏的小屋里,他和她从缱绻后的睡梦中醒来,窗外夕阳的光芒投射在她的身上,外面有一个洗衣妇人的歌声和尘世中种种车来人往。那样的时刻,那样的爱情,它真实地存在...
评分之前读戈尔丁的《蝇王》后,写了一篇“《蝇王》的末日启示录”,如果说《蝇王》预言的是个人或者精英处于社会而无作为,从而引起民主政治的倒塌,文明社会的崩溃。那《1984》无疑预言了集权共产主义将是人类世界的末日审判。而《三体》中的未来启示则完全是作者刘欣慈从人类...
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,...
评分《1984》中有一个很小的细节,读到的时候我惊了一跳。 大洋国的外围党员每天早晨醒来之后,都要在电幕的监视下做一套体操。其中有一节“指尖碰脚趾”的动作,是温斯顿最痛恨的。每次一做这个动作,他都会“从脚踵到屁股感到一阵剧痛,最后常常又引起咳嗽的发作。”他原本正陷于...
评分人类必然会疯癫到这种地步,即不疯癫也只是另一种形式的疯癫。 ——帕斯卡尔 1984是不凡的一年。它是乔治•奥威尔的反乌托邦力作《1984》里,故事发生的背景时间。同在这一年,堪称20世纪末最伟大的思想家的福柯死于艾滋病。在同一段时间读了两人的书,又偶然...
