评分难得一见的好文字。不要怀疑自己的阅读能力,大部分时候是写的人不知所云。继续读他的1984。
评分When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art’. I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing. But I could not do the work of writing a book, or even a long magazine article, if it were not also an aesthetic experience.
评分honest experience
评分I didn't finished it though. it still a fantastic book
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.

奥威尔说过一句话,深表赞同——有些动物更平等。 奥维尔说写作是受恶魔的驱使,因为你没法抗拒,不管它多苦。而只有当他发现以政治主题进行写作时,他的作品才有了生命力。 有些动物更平等无疑是莫大的嘲讽。人类社会的不公,令作家胸中涌动着不息的创作冲动。但他更懂得,极...
评分这本书,是关于奥威尔的生平一部分记录。 在读的时候,有种心痛感。以前并不知道,奥威尔的生活是这样的,正如他的书一样,让人有种不舒服感。但是这种不舒服,对于奥威尔这个人,是出于热爱,想不到他曾经有这样的经历,对于《动物庄园》和《1984》那两本书,则是因为揭示真...
评分阅读是一件私事,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...
评分这两天看乔治奥威尔的《我为什么写作》,很多人是因为他的《动物庄园》和《1984》知道他的,也认为他的作品是反共的作品,第一遍并没有觉得太好,今天看第二遍和结合现实的一些情景觉得确实是好作品,194几年的作品对于今天的现实还有很大的隐喻作用。中午和两个大哥喝酒吃饭,...
评分因要外出办事,预计要排很长时间的队,在书架搜寻许久,要找一本轻薄的书,放在包里拿取方便,就选了这本。这本书买了很长时间,一直未读。奥威尔的《1984》读过两遍,依然记得开头的句子,那是四月,天气还未完全转暖,主人公进了一扇门,故事由此展开。 《动物农场》和《1984...
