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.
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.

评分朋友曾经问,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《一九八四》的伟大是不用任何废话的,因为它本身就是一个伟大的预言。甚至有人称这本书为“社会政治幻想小说”。 和我对《动物庄园》的评价一样,中国人喜欢《一九八四》是不言而喻的,因为他们有着非常切身的体会。以至于我总是怀疑,《一九八四》能够在中国出版,都是一件令...
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...
