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.

读后感

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...

Simon Leys《中国的阴影》、Arthur Koestler《中午的黑暗》。 将来人们会对奥威尔评价更低。一如将来德国和中国的灾难还会再来。人类记吃不记打。 奥威尔是我见过的最健全的知识分子,几乎没有之一。他唯一的问题是俄国思想家也都有的问题:因为出身高于工人,无法...

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...

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。

He's George Orwell. The only person who could write this well and this simple.

爱奥威尔。读到犀利处恨不得狠拍大腿,大喊一声你这臭小子!下半年要再读一遍。决定把他的书都看一遍。

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

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
