I didn't finished it though. it still a fantastic book
评分Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
评分只能說小巧輕便,拿來被背書很方便。的確也是選了幾篇很重要(都超經典的)的散文(這幾篇我確實很喜歡)...但是這樣就匯成一本,讓人感覺是在圈錢。
评分George Orwell, what else can I say? 偷用了他这篇文章的题目作为我optional essay的题目。他和Joan Didion的两篇应该合并起来看。但是很可惜的是,我完全无法最终给出一个why来,所以我只能用另外一个George的句子来结尾。真心羡慕会写故事的人。
评分As one who is barely interested in politics, I'm fully overcome by the greatness of Orwell--his conscience, his insight, his style. Highly recommended: England Your England(Part I of The Lion and the Unicorn), Politics and English Language, Why I Write.
George Orwell
Son of an English administrator stationed in India (in the "Opium Department"), Orwell (born Eric Blair) returned to Henley-on-Thames in England with his mother when he was 2. He eventually attended Eton, becoming a somewhat rebellious boy who questioned his family's middle-class values. From 1921 to 1927, he served with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, a job he loathed, and after he resigned he devoted himself to learning to write, first in England, then in Paris, where he began to publish articles on social issues under the pen name of George Orwell. All his life, Orwell was aware of and outraged by poverty and unemployment and the inequities of the oppressive English class system. Impoverished himself, he worked in the kitchen of a Paris hotel, out of which came his memoir, DOWN AND OUT IN PARIS AND LONDON. He wrote several novels during this period--the first to be published was A CLERGYMAN'S DAUGHTER in 1935--as well as his classic study of Yorkshire coal miners, THE ROAD TO WIGAN PIER (1937). (Later in life, Orwell commented, "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism...") Orwell fought with the antifascists in the Spanish Civil War, detailing his experiences in HOMAGE TO CATALONIA (1938), and during World War II he wrote for the BBC. He is credited with coining the expression "cold war." Orwell's scathing political satire, ANIMAL FARM, was published after the war, in 1945. His first wife also died that year, and he and his son moved to the island of Jura off the Scottish coast, where Orwell wrote his most famous and influential novel, 1984, which was published in 1949. He remarried shortly after, but in 1950 he died of the tuberculosis that had long plagued him.

阅读是一件私事,这是在看这本书过程中,在我头脑里面产生的一个想法。 记得之前听过这么一件事:有一群小孩子寄信给一位作家,问他是否在写某篇文章的时候,要表达的意思和阅读理解所提供的答案一致,作家对答案一头雾水,表示那完全不是自己所想的。 一部作品,不论是小说...
评分一,学校与童年 我清楚的记得有一年因为误点没赶上飞机,花钱补票在机场干等下一班起飞,同时对着电话另一端的数落不住陪小心,这个模样就是奥威尔提到的“一年只挣XXX的办公室小当差的”。 虽然我没有经历过傻包与翻脸,但介于两者之间的,面无表情之流,我见过太多。与奥威...
评分2008-10-29 14:13:54 乔治·奥威尔在1931年8月发表了一篇名为《绞刑》的纪实文章,记述了他在缅甸时所见到和参与的一次绞刑。这篇文章不动声色地记述了处死一个囚犯的全过程,在我看来,代表着奥威尔在他的叙述风格中的最高成就。 死囚是个印度人,“身材矮小,...
评分奥威尔曾在遗嘱中表示不希望有人为他写作传记。据他自己说是因为一个人的一生从内部看总是一连串失败经历的组合体,不但让别人学习的地方不多,而且想起来都觉得丢人现眼。一个作家去世之前发表声明不希望后人作传的人不少,但那都是因为他们渗透到骨子里的傲慢觉得那些后人根...
